Five Big Ideas in Reading
Each idea is essential but NOT sufficient
ALONE to achieve reading mastery
1. Phonemic awareness
2. Alphabetic principle
3. Fluency
4. Vocabulary
5. Comprehension
What is fluency?
Ability to read text
smoothly,
easily, and quickly
 Automatically read words
accurately and understand
meaning rapidly
Comprehension and Fluency
Without reading fluency, readers place
so much mental energy on
“how to read” that
those energies are not available for
comprehension or making meaning of
“what they have read.”
Strong Readers
 Read words quickly, correctly, and without hesitation.
 Reading is a pleasurable activity, so they read more.
 Spend more time independent reading, which not only
increases comprehension, but also their vocabulary,
background knowledge, decoding, and fluency skills.
Struggling Readers
 Plod slowly through each sentence without
experiencing the joy of quick, automatic, fluent
reading
 Find reading laborious, so they may lose motivation
in reading
 Poor reading fluency may result in poor reading
comprehension with material that could easily be
understood if it was read aloud to them.
“Rich get richer, and
the poor get poorer.”
Fluency Practice
 Both struggling readers and strong
readers benefit from fluency practice
 Readers are challenged to read more
difficult and sophisticated text
expressively with good phrasing
and intonation.
Three Types of Reading that
build fluency
1. Read Aloud- Nurture the LOVE of reading.
A reader models great reading with fluency and
expression. The reader shares his thinking with the
listener throughout the text to model how meaning is
gained.
2. Independent Reading- The reader actively reads
by himself from a “just right” book. Fluency skills and
comprehension are easily accessible.
3. Coached Reading- Side-by-side with the reader
encouraging and supporting to build fluency when the
reader gets stuck on a word.
Ways to support fluency
 Vary the three types of reading
 Make sure child has “just right” text when reading
independently. Remember 5 finger rule.
 Choral Reading- reading together at the same time.
 Echo Reading- model reader reads, the student repeats the
expressiveness and phrasing.
 Repeated readings- the reader practices rereading the same
passage for fluency.
Reading Rate
 Words correct per minute (WCPM)
 Students cannot receive a “4” for rate
alone. They must have good phrasing,
expression, and attend to punctuation.
Phrasing, Expression, and
Punctuation
3 - Meets standard
 three or four word
phrases
 Some expression
 Attends to most
punctuation.
4 - Exceeds
standard
 Longer, meaningful
phrases
 Expressive
 Guided by meaning
and punctuation.
Fluency CWPM (correct words per minute).
Let’s try it!
 Choose a partner.
 Decide who will be the reader and who
will be the listener.
 The listener will follow the reading and
listen for errors.
