Results support the use
of oral reading fluency assessment as a valid tool for identifying students at risk of not passing the statewide reading achievement test.
Because oral reading fluency has been shown to be a reliable indicator of overall reading performance, national norms for reading fluency can provide a valuable tool for making key decisions about students.
Oral reading fluency reflects the complex combination of both lower - level and higher - level processes, and it can be considered a reliable indicator of overall reading proficiency.
This study examined the effects of passage and presentation order on progress monitoring assessments
of oral reading fluency in 134 second grade students.
The Ohio Grade 7 Reading Test scores were correlated
with oral reading fluency rates to determine the extent of the relationship between the results.
The percentage of English language learners meeting 3rd - grade
DIBELS oral reading fluency benchmarks has more than doubled, from 19 percent in fall 2003 to 41 percent in spring 2007.
The only issue should be about what approach would most likely benefit the student, and even a reliable
oral reading fluency test on its own would not be adequate to make such a decision.
The percentage of 3rd graders meeting
oral reading fluency benchmarks on the widely used Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) increased from 28 percent in fall of 2003 to 52 percent in spring of 2006, more than triple the increase for students at a comparison group of non — Reading First schools over the same period (31 to 38 percent).
Students in the US showed a 36 per cent increase
in oral reading fluency when exposed to high - intensity light, while those in standard lighting conditions increased by only 16 per cent.

The purpose of this study was (1) to examine the causal effects of READ 180, a mixed - methods literacy intervention, on measures of word reading efficiency, reading comprehension and vocabulary, and
oral reading fluency and (2) to examine whether print exposure among children in the experimental condition explained variance in posttest reading scores.
Although READ 180 had a positive impact on
oral reading fluency and attendance, these effects were restricted to children in Grade 4.
READ 180 Enterprise students outperformed control group students on vocabulary (d =.23) and reading comprehension (d =.32), but not on spelling and
oral reading fluency.

The first year this framework was in effect was also the first year of the voluntary, trial program to administer NAEP in a way that allowed for state - by - state comparisons, and the year in which the NAEP special study on
oral reading fluency was conducted (Pinnell, Pikulski, Wixson, Campbell, Gough, & Beatty, 1995).
