Define fluency.• Describe the elements of fluency as listed by our textbook.

      Graded Assignment - FluencyFluencyFollowing completion of the Week 6 Graded Assignment, the participant will be able to:• Define fluency.• Describe the elements of fluency as listed by our textbook.• Explain how to measure reading fluency through a teacher-made assessment.• Explain how to measure reading fluency through commercially provided materials.• Identify expected fluency rates (words per minute=WPM) based on grade/age levels of students.• List and describe some of the effective strategies cited in our textbook (and other resources) for increasing student reading fluency.Questions for reflection:1. What is fluency?  According to our textbook authors, what are the critical elements of fluency?2. Why is fluency so critical to building effective reading skills?  What is the conventional wisdom shared by researchers?3. Explain why in education we often see “quasi-experimental” designs for research instead of a true “experimental” design.  (p. 28-29 in Bell/McCallum text)4. Select two different fluency assessments to use with your assessment subject.  Identify and explain each assessment and describe your experience.  What did you learn?  What will you do differently next time you conduct an assessment for fluency?  5. Note that, the Bell & McCallum textbook shares information about measures of fluency with TOSCRF.  There is an additional measure called the BEAR (Vhttp://mvs0002.wixsite.com/msstonesstudies/growing-fluency) as well as the TOSWRF (http://www.proedinc.com/Customer/ProductView.aspx?ID=6249).  Explain these assessments in terms of your role as a teacher and tutor for the student involved in your case study.Rubric for Week 6 --  Graded Assignment -- Miscue Analysis & Fluency Points PossibleContent Written responses answer questions posed.  Format for the response is in essay format, not question and answer. 10Reference and Mechanics Participant uses two resources not already cited in the lesson.
