Hi Megan, I would look at the book What Really Matters in Fluency (Allington). The book has good suggestions for fluency assessment and instruction.

At my student teaching site, I have a 30 minute reading class for 8th graders. School wide, it is the period of the day for only silent reading. I also have to test their fluency each card marking. I have been assigned to take running records. The last time I tested them, the entire class' scores went down. Is there a better way to test fluency than running records? Is there a better way to increase fluency when I only have 30 minutes? Thanks Megan Dunn _________________________________________________________________ Rediscover Hotmail(r): Get quick friend updates right in your inbox. http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover _Updates1_042009 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
