How to Use a Reading Fluency Screener
1. Choose a one-minute fluency reading passage at the student’s independent reading level. Independent reading is usually classified as 95%-100% accuracy.
2. Provide the student with a copy of the reading passage. Ask the student to read the text aloud until they are asked to stop after one minute.
3. Use the teacher’s copy of the reading passage to record any mistakes the student makes during reading. Words that are self-corrected within three seconds should not be marked as errors.
4. Calculate the student’s average reading rate by subtracting any errors from the number of correct words read in one minute.
5. If the selected text is too easy or challenging for the student, repeat the assessment with a more appropriate passage.
