Oral Reading Fluency: 90 Years of Measurement. Technical Report # 33
Hasbrouck, Jan; Tindal, Gerald
Behavioral Research and Teaching
Data are presented from a number of different sites in which oral reading fluency was measured using the procedures commonly ascribed to curriculum-based measurement (CBM). This measurement system focuses on automaticity in reading and therefore students are directed to read aloud from grade level passages for one minute, with words read correctly counted. Data are presented across various sites, compiling the outcomes across various passages and depicting the results in both average performance and percentile bands for fall, winter, and spring across grades 1-8. These data are referred to as normative because of the large sample and robust passage sampling. (Contains 3 tables.)
