What is fluency--just highlyproficient word reading?

No. Fluency is more closelycorrelated to comprehensionthan to word reading.

Then is oral reading fluency just ameasure of reading comprehension?

• Despite the close correlation, clinicalcase studies reveal that fluency andcomprehension are independent insome exceptional first languagereaders.

Does fluency matter?

Yes.Fluency training improves reading

comprehension —includingsilent reading comprehension.

Who Needs Fluency Instruction?

National Reading Panel based its fluencyconclusions on studies conducted in:

Grades 1 through 9.

Page 18: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

Who Needs Fluency Instruction?

National Reading Panel did not base itsfluency conclusions on studies conductedwith second language learners

Page 19: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

Who Needs Fluency Instruction?

However, more recent studies havefound that fluency training helps

second language learners.(Denton, 2000; De La Colina, et al., 2001)

Page 20: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

Some indirect instructional evidenceon oral reading fluency

• Amount of in class oral reading correlateswith gains in reading achievement forelementary and secondary students

• Amount of in class silent reading does notcorrelate with gains in reading achievementfor elementary or secondary students

--Jane Stallings, 1980

Page 21: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

Why Teach Fluency?

NRP: 4 kinds of evidence• 14 immediate effects studies• 16 group learning studies• 12 single subject learning studies• 9 method analysis studies

How Do You Teach Fluency?

Oral• Studies show that oral reading practice

works• Studies do not consistently show that silent

reading practice works.• Remember Stallings, 1980

Page 27: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

How Do You Teach Fluency?

Repetition• Rereading up to criteria• Reading a text 3 or more times for learning• Group studies find improvements through

as many as 7 rereadings and even more inthe clinical research

Page 28: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

How Do You Teach Fluency?

Paired Reading• Types of partners• Partner training• Coaching the coaches• Keeping track

Page 29: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

How Do You Teach Fluency?

Not round robin.• Too little practice• Little repetition• Diverts attention from essentials

Page 30: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

How Do You Teach Fluency?

Reader’s Theatre• Revise text into scripts• Practice before presentation• Lack of research and some concerns

Page 31: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What kind of text should be usedto teach fluency?

• Studies showed learning from texts that rangedfrom slightly difficult to quite hard

• Hard text when you are teaching fluency andeasier text when students are just reading itwithout instructional emphasis on fluencyattention

--Hintze, Daly, & Shapiro (1998); O’Connor, et al., 2002; Morgan, et al., 2000

Page 32: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What kind of text should be usedto teach fluency?

• Biggest learning with harder texts, but thisrequires more support, repetition, etc.

Page 33: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What kind of text should be usedto teach fluency?

• Both narrative and expository text (actuallymore instructional studies used expositorytext than narrative)

Page 34: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What kind of text should be usedto teach fluency?

• Lots of word repetition within and acrossselections (for younger and poorer readers)

Page 35: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What kind of text should be usedto teach fluency?

• Passages of 50-150 words (or longerpassages parsed in this manner)

Proper Expression

3 or 4 on NAEP Scale

Page 38: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

NAEP Level 4

Level 4 Reads primarily in larger, meaningful phrasegroups. Although some regressions, repetitions,and deviations from text may be present, these donot appear to detract from the overall structure ofthe story. Preservation of the author's syntax isconsistent. Some or most of the story is read withexpressive interpretation.

Page 39: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

NAEP Level 3

Level 3 Reads primarily in three- or four-word phrase groups. Some smallergroupings may be present. However, themajority of phrasing seems appropriate andpreserves the syntax of the author. Little orno expressive interpretation is present.

Page 40: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

NAEP Level 2

Level 2 Reads primarily in two-word phraseswith some three- or four-word groupings.Some word-by-word reading may bepresent. Word groupings may seemawkward and unrelated to larger context ofsentence or passage.

Page 41: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

NAEP Level 1

Level 1 Reads primarily word-by-word.Occasional two-word or three-word phrasesmay occur-but these are infrequent and/orthey do not preserve meaningful syntax.

What are students learning when youteach fluency?

With younger children and poor readers, rereading isepisodic in nature

• Even typescript changes can interfere withlearning (Jacoby, Levy, & Steinbach, 1992; Levy& Kirsner, 1989; Levy et al., 1992):

•The brown cow jumped over the moon.THE BROWN COW JUMPED OVER THE

MOON.

What are students learning when youteach fluency?

With older proficient readers, even syntaxchanges do not reduce rereading effects(Levy, Barnes, & Martin, 1993):

• Currently there is a national concern overthe illegal use of drugs.

• The illegal use of drugs is currently anational concern.

Page 60: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

What are students learning when youteach fluency?

• Lack of prosody effects (except as mediatedby decoding speed) for younger children(Schwanenflugel, et al., 2004)

• However, these effects are not likely untilthe students are older or more skilled

What are students learning whenthey work on fluency?

Depending on relative text difficulty ordevelopmental level of student readingability:

1. How to read words efficiently2. How to make sense of the text/prosodic

features

Page 64: The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Developmenttextproject.org/assets/library/slides-color/ucsir-2005-shanahan... · The Role of Oral Reading Fluency in Literacy Development

This developmental divide suggeststhat a wider range of instructional

activity should be considered

• Parsing studies• Older students are taught how to parse text• Powerful impact on reading comprehension

(despite lack of oral reading in thetreatment)
