Much later, as a graduate student at Northwestern University's School of Speech, I began to develop some tools for investigating intersections between language and action, angling toward such forms of aesthetic expression as
oral reading, acting and directing in the theatre, and storytelling.
The first rule of successful preparation for
oral reading is get on your feet and practice as soon as possible!
One common mistake we make in
oral reading is overemphasizing what the text means to us personally.
Oral reading was so important at this time that silent reading was often forbidden!
The devotional values are certainly a part of preparing scripture for
oral reading.
In the services of worship in Judaism, a-strong connection had always been made between the act of reading the sacred word aloud and the praise of God in the worshiping community.5 Jesus» for example, chose this important act of
oral reading to inaugurate his public ministry:
Have a piece of paper handy when you start to prepare a text for
oral reading, or better still, keep a journal or notebook for developing your impressions of the texts you select.
You may, however, discover that you can accomplish your objectives by holding workshops on Saturdays or by preparing a unit on
oral reading as an adult Sunday school class, which can also recruit lay readers.
In fact, many people «heard» Luther's pamphlets read by someone else, both because some of the listeners were not literate and because
oral reading was still a significant public act.
For children with moderate astigmatism, glasses had little or no effect on
oral reading fluency.
The students with high astigmatism had significantly decreased
oral reading fluency, compared to the other two groups.
All I had to do was take
an oral reading each morning and a vaginal reading each afternoon / evening.
If you see a purple day during a cycle, it is important to look back at trends in
your oral readings to see if you can identify a second Cue Peak (a high oral reading followed by two lower oral readings).
If we were to graph this cycle, we would see a prominent peak in
the oral readings followed by at least two days of lowered readings, and a «V» pattern in the vaginal readings ending on the pink box day, followed by a relatively flat line through the rest of the cycle.
This will appear as one elevated
oral reading followed by two lower oral readings, and can mean that I might be gearing up to ovulate in the next 5 - 7 days or so.
The Cue Peak is a high
oral reading followed by two lower oral readings (a trend spanning three days), which coincides with the selection of the dominant follicle in the ovary.
Once you have passed through your fertile window and can confirm ovulation has occurred, you may discontinue taking
oral readings until the beginning of your next cycle.
If you have an irregular cycle, however, it might be necessary to continue
oral readings throughout your cycle.
This is also the case if ovulation is going to occur later than
the oral readings had originally predicted; the OvaCue (based on the vaginal readings) will extend your «fertile» window until progesterone dominance has been detected.
The OvaCue uses your average cycle length to determine when it should be looking for certain trends in
your oral readings.
The answer is yes, you would want to keep taking
those oral readings daily throughout your cycle.
When the dominant follicle is selected, the OvaCue ® will identify a Cue Peak in
your oral readings, and can then predict out your fertile window for 5 - 7 days in the future.
Notice that there are two Cue Peaks in
the oral readings, the first occurring on Cycle Day 5 and the second occurring on Cycle Day 10.
This is also the case if ovulation is occurring later than
the oral reading had originally predicted.
A Randomized Experiment of a Mixed - Methods Literacy Intervention for Struggling Readers in Grades 4 - 6: Effects on Word Reading Efficiency, Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary, and
Oral Reading Fluency.
Reader's Theater: A Reason to Read Aloud The Reader's Theater strategy blends students» desire to perform with their need for
oral reading practice.
If you are still bothered by a few errors that he made in
his oral reading, such that you remember the error after you've finished reading together (but don't write these down while he reads — he will be on to you), you can work on it a little later.

While
oral reading is important, she writes, round - robin style is stressful to struggling readers who often «determine what they will have to read aloud ahead of time and rehearse it while others are reading and thus lose the continuity of the text.
Curriculum - based measures of
oral reading fluency were individually administered as a pre - and post-test to assess students» speed and accuracy when reading aloud.
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.
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.
Readers Theatre is a tool useful in developing fluency,
oral reading confidence, and comprehension.
Total Pages: 11 with reproducible expressive reading prompts and a assessment guide for
oral reading.
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.
To me, students need to read silently for sure, that is the way they will do most of their reading in their lives and in their professions, but there's also a place for
oral reading by teachers and
oral reading by students in the classroom, that I think for me has been slightly overlooked.
I think I realized in the course of writing this book that I have a passion for
oral reading and the power of
oral reading.
The women didn't have the benefit of research on the importance of
oral reading and recitation, but their instincts were perfect.
Students work independently and with a Learning Coach to develop
oral reading, comprehension, phonics, spelling, and fluency skills.
Oral reading is an important element to effective literacy instruction, but it should be used to identify evidence in the text, to share a favorite passage or sentence, or to locate a particular fact or event.
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.
appropriate instruction in reading shall mean scientific research - based reading programs that include explicit and systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, reading fluency (including
oral reading skills) and reading comprehensive strategies;
Curriculum - based measurement of
oral reading: An evaluation of growth rates and seasonal effects among students served in general and special education
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).
Because we were personally and painfully aware of the problems of using group assessments, especially with kindergartners and first graders, and because we wanted assessments that would be credible with the teachers in these schools, we were committed to one - on - one assessments,
oral reading samples, and retellings — all practices we knew would appeal to teachers.
In general,
oral reading fluency provides one of the best measures of reading competence, including comprehension, for children in first through third grades.

Oral Reading Fluency and Retell Fluency DIBELS
Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) is a standardized, individually administered test of accuracy and fluency with connected text.
The purpose of shared reading is for the teacher to model fluent
oral reading and the metacognitive skills that support a reader in making meaning
The number of correct words per minute from the passage is
the oral reading fluency score.
