One Minute Fluency Timed Read
To help your child practice and improve in reading fluency you may give them a
One Minute Fluency Check at home.
1. Select a reading passage at your child's reading level.
2. Set a timer for 1 minute.
3. While your child is reading the passage keep track of any errors they make. You may not help them with any words as they are reading. They need to try to figure them out or skip over them.
4. Mark the word they stopped with at the 1 minute mark.
5. Count the number of words they read and then subtract the number of errors they made. This will give you the number of words per minute (WPM) you child is reading.
6. You may have your child use the same passage throughout the week. Have them place a sticky note where they stopped.
Their goal is the continually move that sticky note farther down the page as their fluency improves.
First Trimester Goal- 53 to 82 WPM
