After conducting a running record on Devorah Y., it was noted that she had a 95% accuracy. She tended to skip words like a and the and skipping endings of words. This is because Devorah gets ahead of herself and reads too fast. This lesson focuses on this issue.


Fluency Mini-Lesson:

 

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.4.4.B
Read grade-level prose and poetry orally with accuracy, appropriate rate, and expression on successive readings.

 

This lesson will be about focusing on individual words in a text in order not to skip or substitute words.

 

Give the students a story in list form.

Give the student a big card with a hole the size of one word so the student only sees one word at a time.

Have the student go down the list and read each word slowly.

Next, read the list without the covering, but still slowly and purposefully.

Next, have the student read the full story in a regular format focusing on reading slow and do a running record. Note any improvement.
