Morning, I have a student who has a high average IQ. He tests at Z in the a-z assessment, but his fluency (DIBELS) is at 77. In January the fourth grade goal was 105, so he is significantly below that expectation. He has received fluency support with Quick Reads (similar to REad Naturally

Since you are sensing that he is choking under the duress of a timed reading, have you tried timing him without him knowing it, or having him record his reading on his own to get another form of sampling? Interestingly, I had a student who read meticulously slow, and once he heard his own reading

I teach second grade and one of my darlings was reading successfully on AR tests but not fluently on the dibels tests. I talked with him about reading like water flowing out of the faucet. I asked him to read for a bit each day so we could hear him together. Sometimes I would reread parts and ask
