The refreshed New Zealand Curriculum for the English learning area asks us to teach our learners to:
“read year level texts accurately and expressively, reflecting understanding of the text while maintaining a natural pace of reading, at oral-reading fluency rates appropriate for year X students.”
The teaching considerations state:
“Use an Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) assessment to identify students needing more targeted teaching support and to monitor progress and acceleration regularly over time.”
Our day of learning with Emma will answer the following questions, and focus on the ‘how-to’ of assessing and developing reading fluency to support comprehension:
- What is fluency and why should we bother with it?
- How do you measure Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) using a one-minute assessment as a benchmark and progressing monitoring tool?
- Evidence-based ways to teach fluency for both Tier 1 core instruction for all learners, and for Tier 2 & 3 intervention. Fluency at the levels of connected text, words, and letter-sound correspondences.
Who should attend?
This day of learning will be useful for Year 2-10 classroom teachers, teacher aides, literacy leaders, school leaders, and those in specialist support roles such as RTLB, RT:Lit (while we still have you 😢), Structured Literacy intervention teachers, LSCs and SENCO.
