Book excerpt: Reading fluency has been identified as a key component of proficient reading. Research has consistently demonstrated significant and substantial correlations between reading fluency and overall reading achievement. Despite the great potential for fluency to have a significant outcome on students’ reading achievement, it continues to be not well understood by teachers, school administrators and policy makers. The chapters in this volume examine reading fluency from a variety of perspectives. The initial chapter sketches the history of fluency as a literacy instruction component. Following chapters examine recent studies and approaches to reading fluency, followed by chapters that explore actual fluency instruction models and the impact of fluency instruction. Assessment of reading fluency is critical for monitoring progress and identifying students in need of intervention. Two articles on assessment, one focused on word recognition and the other on prosody, expand our understanding of fluency measurement. Finally, a study from Turkey explores the relationship of various reading competencies, including fluency, in an integrated model of reading. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into reading fluency and fluency instruction and move toward making fluency instruction an even more integral part of all literacy instruction.

Book excerpt: The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.

Book excerpt: ASTRACT: This qualitative study documented fifth grade students exploring reading fluency through repeated reading of songs and poems during a twelve-week period. The teacher modeled appropriate reading rate, accuracy, and prosody. The students then used the same 2-3 poems or songs for the week and practiced repeated reading in a variety of ways, including choral reading, partner reading, and silent reading. As the students continued to reread the text, they were asked to work in partners and analyze the text. The teacher used direct instruction and repeated reading to support teaching comprehension. At the end of the week, the students performed their poems and songs for an audience and the students then voted on and discussed which readings were most enjoyable to listen to and were most fluently read. Throughout the study the teacher collected data through nonparticipant observation, participant observation, surveys, student work, and diagnostic reading assessments. The data collected from this study suggests that students that are given a purpose for rereading and are given engaging, short, and age appropriate texts are able to make gains in their fluency and comprehension skills.

Book excerpt: An impassioned call for a return to reading poetry and an incisive argument for poetry’s accessibility to all readers, by critically acclaimed poet Matthew Zapruder In Why Poetry, award-winning poet Matthew Zapruder takes on what it is that poetry—and poetry alone—can do. Zapruder argues that the way we have been taught to read poetry is the very thing that prevents us from enjoying it. In lively, lilting prose, he shows us how that misunderstanding interferes with our direct experience of poetry and creates the sense of confusion or inadequacy that many of us feel when faced with it. Zapruder explores what poems are, and how we can read them, so that we can, as Whitman wrote, “possess the origin of all poems,” without the aid of any teacher or expert. Most important, he asks how reading poetry can help us to lead our lives with greater meaning and purpose. Anchored in poetic analysis and steered through Zapruder’s personal experience of coming to the form, Why Poetry is engaging and conversational, even as it makes a passionate argument for the necessity of poetry in an age when information is constantly being mistaken for knowledge. While he provides a simple reading method for approaching poems and illuminates concepts like associative movement, metaphor, and negative capability, Zapruder explicitly confronts the obstacles that readers face when they encounter poetry to show us that poetry can be read, and enjoyed, by anyone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if repeated readings of poetry after school would improve the reading fluency of First Grade students. This research was conducted in a First Grade classroom with ten subjects. The treatment lasted for nine weeks with pretests and posttests administered the first and last weeks of the study. Data taken included nonsense word recognition, words per minute read, and anecdotal journals. At the beginning of each week, the five subjects in the treatment group conferenced with the teacher about a new poem. The subjects took home the poem and practiced it with an adult for four days. Subjects (or their guardians) documented the number of minutes read each night on verification sheets. Data were compiled, triangulated and analyzed to form conclusions. Results from this study showed an increase in reading fluency of both the treatment and comparison subjects during the nine week treatment period. Further research is needed to determine if the conclusions of this study would be applicable to a generalized population.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which were developed in 2010, an emphasis on reading for information, applying what is learned in the classroom to real world situations, using higher level critical thinking skills and improving problem solving underscore reading fluency as one of the foundational skills needed to access the core curriculum (Rothman, 2012). Educators have always searched for ways to adapt their curriculum to best suit the needs of their students and improve reading fluency. One way to elicit fluent readers is repeated reading. This approach can be used with any adopted textbook program, and research has shown readers theater and specific repeated reading interventions produce significant gains in reading fluency (Corcoran & Davis, 2005). The data selected for analysis were derived from first-grade students who participated daily in Repeated Readings of Poetry. This supplemental activity was used outside of the reading core and occurred each week over a 4-month period. Each poem was introduced and practiced in the prescribed manner within a 5-day span before the introduction of another poem. A paired sample t-test was conducted to determine if there was a significant difference between the mean scores of the pre- and post-test Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) assessment. An alpha level of .05 was used to determine statistical significance. The results of the analysis suggest that participation in Repeated Readings of Poetry does have a positive impact on reading fluency.

Book excerpt: This study examined the effectiveness of repeated readings in four second-grade classrooms in two urban elementary schools in Northwest Ohio. As determined by the Ohio Department of Education, 75% of the students in each building must score at or above the proficient level. For the 2008-2009 school year Building A, a school within one of Ohio"s urban settings, had a passage rate of 65.7% and Building-B, in the same district, had a lower passage rate of 58.1%. To evaluate the effectiveness of the 10-week repeated reading session of poetry and prose the following research questions were addressed: (a) What is the effect of repeated readings of poetry versus repeated reading of narrative passages on fluency (Words Correct Per Minute) over a 10-week intervention?(b) What is the effect of repeated readings of poetry versus repeated reading of narrative passages on fluency (prosody) over a 10-week intervention? (c)What is the effect of repeated readings of poetry versus repeated reading of narrative passages on reading comprehension over a 10-week intervention? (d)What is the effect of repeated reading of poetry on students' attitudes toward reading as compared to the repeated readings of narrative passages? Mixed methods design was selected for this study due to both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The quantitative data represents the scores on the pre- and post-tests of Words Correct Per Minute, retelling rubric, Elementary Reading Attitude Survey, and prosody rubric. The qualitative data within the study consisted of student questionnaires, student interviews, and teacher journals following the 10-week repeated readings project. Within this study, statistical significance was demonstrated in the areas of improvement in Words Correct Per Minute, phrasing, and smoothness, making repeated readings a viable addition to reading instruction. Additionally, the results suggested that attitudes toward reading for poetry were more positive than attitudes toward reading of narrative passage.
