Hi Everyone,
There was a question related to fluency: How many words should a learner read aloud per minute to be considered fluent? I went back and found one of the handouts Susan McShane distributed during the December training and found a fluency scale. If a learner reads more than 175 words aloud per minute, it is considered a "strength." However, if a learner is reading less than 60 words aloud per minute, the learner "needs improvement" with his/her fluency. According to the fluency scale, 115 words read aloud per minute is in the middle, between "needs improvement" and "strength" on the scale. I hope this is helpful in determining your learner's fluency strengths/needs after doing some of the timed leveled reading selections.
Happy Reading!
Hazel
