Fluency Directions & Tips Give the one-minute reading, starting the stopwatch when the child begins the first word of the passage (student will not read titles). Tell your child that if she or he has trouble (struggling for

more than 3 to 5 seconds), you will say the word so she or he can keep reading. After one minute, say “Stop,” stop the stopwatch, and circle the last word read.

During the reading, resist the urge to correct mistakes that do not hold up the child's time. Mistakes and self-correction will be counted in the score. If the child has extreme difficulty, please let the teacher know. Follow along word by word with your pencil. Slash ( / ) through any words

the child misses.

Errors include: ● Skipped words ● Mispronounced words ● Word substitutions, including incorrect forms of the word ● Words in the wrong order; both or all words are counted as wrong ● Struggling that lasts for 3 to 5 seconds or more

The following are not considered misses: ● Added words ● Varying pronunciation due to accent, dialect, or speech impediment ● Repetitions in which the wording is correct ● If a child self-corrects a mistake, the word is scored as correct.

Scoring Count the total words in the child's reading using the words-per-line totals listed in the margin. This is the child's words-per-minute reading rate. Mark this on the chart at the bottom. Then,

count the number of errors (slashes). Record this number in the "errors" box. Subtract the number of errors from the total number of words to find the number of correct words.

Example: Words 60 - Errors 6 = 54 wpm

USE A DIFFERENT COLOR PEN EACH NIGHT TO KEEP TRACK OF GROWTH!

Fluency Passage I went to the play “The Princess and the Pea” with my

friends. The play was performed at the King Theater. Our seats

were in the front row. When the play was about to begin, the

lights were turned down low. When the curtain opened and the

stage lights came on, we could see a castle in the clouds on the

stage. Then people walked out on the stage.

Sitting in the front row was fun. We could see everything

that was happening on the stage. All the actors were so close to

us we could see the makeup on their faces. Even the men and

boys wore makeup. We could watch some of the people behind

the curtain as they moved the lights or prepared to go on stage.

At the end of the first act, about halfway through the play,

the actors took a break. The lights came on and we got up from

our seats. We walked out to the lobby to have punch and

cookies. When the lights were turned down again we hurried

back to our seats. When the curtain opened for the second act,

we saw the woods and gardens around the castle.

Everyone clapped when the play was over. The actors came

out on stage and bowed. I took my program up to the stage so the

actors could sign it. They asked if we liked the play. We said we

liked it very much.

Fluency Passage I love going to the movies. My favorite place to go to a

movie is not at the theater, though. My family doesn’t like to go

to the theater. Mom says we have to plan ahead so we don’t miss

the first part of the movie. Dad says we have to hunt for a

parking place. My big brother says if we are late we have to take

the worst seats. My sister says it’s too noisy.

The favorite place for my family to see movies is at home.

We don’t have to find a parking place. We have the best seats in

the house, our big soft couch. We can even lie on the floor on

pillows if we want to. We don’t even have to wear shoes.

We can watch a movie anytime we want. Even our dog,

Boots, can watch the movies with us. Sometimes I can invite my

friend or my cousin over. The popcorn is free at home and we

can have all the seconds we want.

Sometimes Mom and Dad let me pick out the movie with

their help. We go to the video store and rent it for the night or the

weekend. On special nights Mom and Dad let me rent two

movies. Dad makes the popcorn and we all get comfortable in

the family room. I love going to the movies.

USE A DIFFERENT COLOR PEN EACH NIGHT TO KEEP TRACK OF GROWTH!

Fluency Passage I decided I wanted to be a police officer the day two officers

came to our school. They brought a police dog that is a member

of their team. They told us all about their jobs and how the police

dog works with them. They said the police spend more time

helping people than anything else. They go wherever there is a

problem and they try to help.

The police dog is an important part of the team. A trained

dog can find missing people after smelling their clothes. He can

help find people who are lost in the woods and he can lead

them out. The officer said that police dogs work hard but they

like to play when they can.

We were allowed to play with the police dog when he was at

our school. We played hide the ball. We tried to find the best

place in the playground to hide the ball. The police dog tried to

find the ball using only his nose. He gave us a big wag of his tail

when he found it.

When a police dog is working, he is very serious and doesn’t

play around. He listens carefully to the commands he is given

and he starts work right away. He doesn’t care about playing

because he knows he has a job to do. I want to be a police officer

when I grow up so I can help people, too. Maybe I’ll be able to

work with a police dog someday.

Fluency Directions & Tips

Give the one-minute reading, starting the stopwatch when the child begins the first word of the passage (student will not read titles). Tell your child that if she or he has trouble (struggling for

more than 3 to 5 seconds), you will say the word so she or he can keep reading. After one minute, say “Stop,” stop the stopwatch, and circle the last word read.

During the reading, resist the urge to correct mistakes that do not hold up the child's time. Mistakes and self-correction will be counted in the score. If the child has extreme difficulty, please let the teacher know. Follow along word by word with your pencil. Slash ( / ) through any words

the child misses.

Errors include: ● Skipped words ● Mispronounced words ● Word substitutions, including incorrect forms of the word ● Words in the wrong order; both or all words are counted as wrong ● Struggling that lasts for 3 to 5 seconds or more

The following are not considered misses: ● Added words ● Varying pronunciation due to accent, dialect, or speech impediment ● Repetitions in which the wording is correct ● If a child self-corrects a mistake, the word is scored as correct.

Scoring Count the total words in the child's reading using the words-per-line totals listed in the margin. This is the child's words-per-minute reading rate. Mark this on the chart at the bottom. Then,

count the number of errors (slashes). Record this number in the "errors" box. Subtract the number of errors from the total number of words to find the number of correct words.

Example: Words 60 - Errors 6 = 54 wpm

Fluency Passage If I had a cat, I’d name her Princess. I’d treat her just like a

princess. She would wear a gold ribbon with a big bow around

her neck. She’d sleep on a red velvet pillow. She’d eat out of a

fancy dish just like that white cat on TV.

My cat Princess would have green eyes. Her eyes would be

narrow slits most of the time. Her eyes would be as wide as

marbles whenever she looked at me. She would like me the very

best of all the people in the world.

I can’t have a cat because I have allergies. When I touch a cat

my nose starts itching. If I touch my face after touching a cat, my

eyes swell up. Sometimes I have trouble breathing. My mom has

to give me medicine when that happens. If I’m at school when I

have trouble breathing I have to go to the office and see the

nurse.

Our neighbor has a cat named Gray Kitty. Gray Kitty likes

me. He always comes up and rubs my legs. Even if I don’t touch

him I might start itching. I feel bad that I have to run away from

Gray Kitty, because he likes me.

One day our neighbor surprised me. She gave me a cat of my

own! Not a real live cat, but a stuffed one. She has silky fur and

big green eyes and a gold ribbon with a big bow around her

neck. I named her Princess and I can hold her all I want.
