Fluency

5th and 6th grade fluency instruction will be supported through the QuickReads program.

QUICKREADS INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED AS DESIGNED:
• Constructing prior knowledge
• Set the purpose for reading
• Vocabulary building
• Model fluency
• Choral reading
• Paired reading (words per minute/reading rate)
• Comprehension check
• Student self-evaluation through graphing of reading rate
Students identified as “at risk” and “some risk” will be progress monitored and remediated through the use of paraprofessionals and individualized teacher instruction.


PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
• Literacy facilitator will provide professional development through modeling, training, and mentoring
MATERIALS:
• QuickRead supplemental material was purchased as a nonconsumable resource. Damaged or lost materials may be purchased as funds become available.

EVALUATION PROTOCOL, IMPACT, and RESULTS
• Students will undergo beginning, middle, and end of year fluency assessments that will check progression.
• Students that are “at risk” and “some risk” will be identified.
• Teacher evaluation of students’ reading rate (point and time remediation).
• Documentation of student data is maintained by individual teacher
• Literacy facilitator will collect and assess the accumulated data provided by the teachers.
• As this is this first year of QuickReads, the results of ongoing student fluency progress will be presented to the faculty by the Literacy facilitator and posted in the 2009-2010 ACSIP plan.
