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.

Download or read book The Effects of Readers Theatre on Fluency and Comprehension on Fifth Grade Students in Regular Classrooms written by Lila Ubert Carrick and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the effects of Readers Theatre as a teaching strategy to promote reading ability. Readers Theatre, paired repeated reading, and the traditional method of using basal reading textbook were examined to determine their effectiveness in improving reading rate, reading word accuracy, and reading comprehension. Reading rate was calculated by multiplying number of words in the passage by 60 and divided by the number of seconds it took to read the passage. Reading accuracy was calculated by subtracting the number of miscues from the number of words in the passage. The Terra Nova Reading Test, Level 15 was used to measure comprehension. Test results were analyzed using ANCOVA with the pretest serving as the covariate. Post-hoc analysis techniques (Scheffe) were used to further examine any statistically significant main effect. A total of 179 fifth grade students involved in the project comprised ten classrooms from four different schools within the same school district. This urban, special-needs district, in which the majority of the students are considered educationally at risk, is located in central New Jersey. The procedure for this quasi-experimental study followed a pretest, intervention (12 weeks), posttest schedule. A total of 47 students formed the control group (traditional method), 76 students formed the quasi-control group (paired repeated reading), and 56 students formed the experimental group (Readers Theatre). The results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in reading rate. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed both the quasi-control group (PR) and control group (TM). Additionally, the results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in word accuracy. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed the control group (TM). The results of the ANCOVA showed no significant difference among the groups in reading comprehension. These results suggest that Readers Theatre does improve fluency, particularly oral reading rate and word accuracy. These gains are most likely attributed to developing automaticity, using prosodic cueing, and dramatically interacting with the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers Theater is a reading strategy where two or more participants perform while reading from a script. This strategy has become a hot topic in reading. There are many articles tying Readers Theater to increases in student fluency. This study investigated the benefits of Readers Theater on fluency and reading engagement in students that were reading below grade level. The students that were reading below grade level in the classroom were divided into two groups. One group spent 15 minutes of their reading time doing Readers Theater, the other group did not. The motivation for investigating the benefits of Readers Theater is that it was something that the students had enjoyed the previous year. There is also not a set curriculum in the school where this study took place, so there was a need to look for possible strategies that could be adopted by all of the classrooms within the school. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the fluency of students that participated in Readers Theater to the ones who did not. There was a significant difference found in the growth of engagement of students who participated in Readers Theater to those that did not. Overall, the students that participated in Readers Theater a higher growth in fluency and engagement than the other students that did not participate in Readers Theater.

This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter what the content area, one goal all teachers share is for students to actively engage in learning and achieve deep comprehension of required content material. This book will show teachers how to use Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre (CBRT) to increase students' motivation, active engagement with learning, and reading fluency. Unlike traditional readers theatre, which is typically limited to literature-based scripts, CBRT invites teachers and students to create scripts based on any topic, any work of literature, any textbook, or almost any collection of facts--Science scripts, Social Studies scripts, Language Arts scripts, and even Math scripts. CBRT can be easily incorporated into existing curriculum and classroom activities. Because this method emphasizes spoken words emphasized with gestures and sound effects-not staged action and movement-no theatrical training or background is necessary. The author's approach is clear and straightforward. She provides an in-depth explanation of what CBRT is and why it is a valid instructional strategy in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 details how to introduce CBRT to students. In Chapter 3, teachers learn how to collaborate with students on writing and revising an original CBRT script based on curriculum content. Chapter 4 covers ways to involve students in writing and assessing original CBRT scripts. Rehearsing, presenting, and assessing CBRT script performances are the topics of Chapter 5. Other resources found in the book's appendices are: --Twelve reproducible CBRT scripts from a variety of curriculum content areas --Eleven CBRT script templates or script "starters" that suggest a variety of contexts and opening lines to simplify the script creation process --Detailed instructions on the recommended computer formatting of a CBRT script

Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to apply Readers' Theater as a strategy to improve the oral reading fluency scores of students who did not meet fourth grade reading standards. Three elements of fluency were examined: words correct per minute (WCPM), comprehension and the four dimensions of prosody: expression and volume, phrasing, smoothness, and pace. An experimental design was used to determine if there was significance difference between pretest and posttest scores of a treatment and a control group."--Abstract (leaf v).
