Scoring Rubric RRR.doc This week's fluency passage Students have a fluency passage as a nightly homework assignment. (Most of the kids are familiar with how/what to do, because we do this as part of our daily reading skills in class.) Directions: Students are to read the passage aloud to an adult for just one minute, while the adult to whom the child is reading should track the words read, noting any mistakes. Subtract the number of errors from the total amount of words read in that one minute. This is the WPM, or words correct per minute. Our goal for February is 90+ WPM. According to the LA Dept. of Education English Language Arts GLE #12, third grade students should "Demonstrate oral reading fluency of at least 110 words per minute in third grade text with appropriate pacing, intonation, and expression" by the end of third grade. I am confident that each of my students will succeed in this expectation, and I thank you in advance for helping your child succeed!
