I tested my students’ reading fluency this month and was so happy with the results. One of my 5th grade students, who I knew could read faster, was too relaxed with no sense of urgency. I told him to think of reading the passage as a race. That is when he went from 144 to 188. There were similar experiences across the board. Every single student in my class increased their reading speed.
Student 1 went from 115 —-> 129
Student 2 went from 85 —–> 91
Student 3 went from 182 —–> 189
Student 4 went from 80 ——> 98
Student 5 went from 102 ——> 143
Student 6 went from 70 ——-> 81
Student 7 went from 71 ——> 98
Student 8 went from 169 —–> 179
Student 9 went from 103 ——> 149
Student 10 went from 63 ——> 114
Student 11 went from 135 ——> 174
Student 12 went from 139 ——> 170
& of course
Student 13 went from 144 ——>188
HERE’S TO CONTINUED SUCCESS!
