doing it one-on-one with each student. I think they would have more fun with it if
they had a partner and were able to compete against each other. Second, I would
make sure to give a minilesson on parts of speech prior to doing this activity.
Because I wasnt sure how much the students I was working with knew about parts
of speech, I created a list of choices for nouns, verbs, and adjectives. This helped
them tremendously. I would certainly keep this as an option for students to use, but
make sure they knew they could choose their own as well.
In my future classroom, I will incorporate fluency instruction in a variety of
ways. I think variety is key to student achievement and motivation. If they do the
same thing over and over again they are not going to enjoy themselves and thus will
not do well. It is important to make sure fluency instruction is about 20% of their
literacy instruction, so I will keep that into consideration when planning out my
week and lessons. I will need a variety of books and passages at all reading levels
from PreK to High School. You never know what level your students will be on, so it
is vital to be prepared. It is also important to have the materials for any games and
the scripts for readers theatres for students to use. Having plenty of materials and
choices are important for students to have to be able to succeed and grow in their
fluency levels.
One great assessment tool I plan to use is the IRI. It includes WRI, WRC,
comprehension, and rates. I will specifically look at WRC and rates to determine
their fluency levels, but look at their scores overall to determine which books to use
on their independent reading level for further assessments. Another tool I plan to
use are timed repeated readings. I will have the students read a passage or book at
their independent reading level while I time them and count their errors. This can
be done through MadLibs or another passage of text. After completing the
assessments, I will group students based on their IRI scores. This will allow
students with similar reading levels to be together and work together.
