You have one student who only reads 65 words per minute. She passes all comprehension measure and her reading is fluid even though it is slow. You have tried a few interventions but her fluency number will not improve. What do you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Is it an absolute requirement in your school/county? The rate at which students read do not make them effective readers. When a student comprehends and can extend what he or she reads, then they have become an effective reader. Fluency is something that comes along naturally with practice. It does not improve comprehension though. I would just have her practice more passages on her level. It sounds like she is being successful though in reading.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that unless it is a requirement I wouldn't be too worried as comprehension is there, just provide lots of extra support Rated On: February 24, 2020 12:49 am Rated By: Vanessa Tuliau
