The Importance of Assessing Fluency
Assessing fluency is a valuable tool in evaluating a student's reading abilities. It measures a student's accuracy and rate of reading, providing insights into their fluency levels. While fluency is not the sole indicator of comprehension, it serves as a crucial component in the reading process. Teachers can use tools like the Hasbrooke-Tindall Oral Reading Fluency Chart or commercially available assessments to assess fluency. It is important to note that fluency should be addressed alongside other foundational skills such as language development and word recognition. By identifying areas of weakness, teachers can tailor interventions to help students improve their fluency and ultimately enhance their reading comprehension.
