= READING FLUENCY RUBRICK =

I performed a reading fluency test on my student using the Reading Fluency Rubrick found in the "Developing early literacy" textbook (Hill, pg. 170), a picture of which is shown here.



In regards to Rate, the student i interviewed would be best described as Level 2. The student showed some variation in rate, stopping to correct his reading if a phrase does not make sense to him, or if he believed he had mispronounced a word.

In regards to Phrasing, the student i interviewed would be best described as Level 3. The student read quite clearly in phrases, but occasionally would stop to correct himself or question words.

In regards to Pausing, the student i interviewed would be best described as Level 2, being fully aware of full stops most of the time, but still not totally comfortable with other forms of punctuation, such as commas and quotation marks.

In regards to Stress, the student i interviewed would be best described as Level 2. He was quite good at the onomatopoeia styling of the book i.e. "Bang!" "Crash!", which had those words in individual fonts, and added great emphasis on those words, but lacked in others that perhaps weren't so obvious.

In regards to Intonation/Expression, the student i interviewed would be best described as Level 2. There was some expressive interpretation of the story, in the same vein as above, and in certain conversation pieces.

__**STRENGTHS**__


 * Often self-correcting
 * Enjoys reading to an audience
 * Good expression and stress in regards to Onomatopoeia
 * Good phrasing
 * Good understanding of character dialogue being seperate to narrative
 * Shows enjoyment of reading, though can lack confidence

__**WEAKNESSES**__


 * Guessing words he cannot pronounce, instead of trying to figure out "What would make sense? What sounds are there?"
 * Needs to be more fully aware of the use of punctuation
 * Stress in general narrative is needed
 * More confidence would likely show great improvement, as once the student was in the swing of reading, the quality improved greatly
