3- Timed Fluency Reading Passages
- Visit the following website:http://www.haslett.k12.mi.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=11283&:
- Select a “Level 100″ reading passage. For this week, please read passage # 107 (Ants: The Hard Workers) for MONDAY and TUESDAY, and passage #108 (Bees: The Busy Workers) for WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY.
- Complete a one-minute timed reading and record your score on the Homework Form. Feel free to use this online timer: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/1minute/ . Find your score by subtracting the number of incorrect words read from the total number of words read in one minute (for instance, if you read 98 words, but read 5 of the words incorrectly, your score would be 93).
- Re-tell the story with as much detail as possible, and in your own words, to a parent, using the guidelines described below:
1.) Topic: what the selection is mainly about. Start by saying “This story is mostly about…”
2.) Re-tell: Tell the story in your own words and in chronological order, including as many facts as possible.
3.) Details: tell any interesting details found in the passage; and
4.) Key Knowledge: The most important thing learned from the author.
Re-tell Guidelines for Fictional Passages: Use the “Retell Rope” (at right) as a guide. The “Retell Rope” requires that the student describe the characters, setting, and plot, and which events happened first, next, and last.
- If you are able to read the entire passage in less than a minute: start again at the top of the passage and read as many more words as you can until the one-minute timing is over. For scoring, include the total words read during the entire minute. For instance, if you read the entire passage (137 words) and then read part of it again (39 words) before the one-minute timing was over, your score would be 176 (if you had no mistakes).
