“Read naturally”: A strategy to increase oral reading fluency

Reading Research and Instruction, 1999
Abstract Reading fluency is a key skill of effective readers. The speed and effortlessness with which readers process text is highly correlated with comprehension. Optimal levels of oral reading fluency and typical rates of improvement in fluency have been determined.

Towards accurate recognition for children's oral reading fluency

2010 IEEE Spoken Language Technology Workshop, 2010
Systems for assessing and tutoring reading skills place unique requirements on underlying ASR technologies. This paper presents VersaReader, a system automatically measuring children's oral reading fluency skills. Critical techniques that improve the recognition accuracy and make the system practical are discussed in detail. We show that using a set of

Listening previewing in reading to read: Relative effects on oral reading fluency

Psychology in the Schools, 1995
An intervention designed to increase oral reading fluency (Reading to Read; RTR) as well as the additional component of listening previewing (PRV) was evaluated in an alternating treatments design with 3 African-American male elementary students (9, 10, and 12 years of age; 2 fourth grade and 1 third grade) who were reading 2 to 3 years below their ...

Assessment as a Strategy to Increase Oral Reading Fluency

Intervention in School and Clinic, 2011
For students with reading disabilities who experience difficulties with oral reading fluency, school-based interventions frequently focus on increasing speed through interventions such as repeated readings of texts. Students may not respond adequately to such “fluency only” interventions if the underlying skills that lead to fluent reading are ...

Building Oral Reading Fluency With Peer Coaching

Remedial and Special Education, 2010
Fluent oral reading is an essential literacy skill, and data suggest that it is a consistent and persistent problem for many elementary school children. Peer-mediated instruction in which students work together to support each other is an evidence-based practice for improving performance in a variety of academic areas.

The influence of Variations in Syntax on Oral Reading Fluency

Journal of Reading Behavior, 1987
This study examined the effect of variations in syntactic structure on oral reading. Forty fourth graders and 26 college students read aloud one of two narrative passages. Each passage contained three instances of a target structure (noun + participle) and three instances of a less complex control structure (verb phrase of a subject-verb-object clause).

Human and automated assessment of oral reading fluency.

Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
This article describes a comprehensive approach to fully automated assessment of children’s oral reading fluency (ORF), one of the most informative and frequently administered measures of children’s reading ability. Speech recognition and machine learning techniques are described that model the 3 components of oral reading fluency: word accuracy ...

Incorporating calibration errors in oral reading fluency scoring

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology
Oral reading fluency (ORF) assessments are commonly used to screen at‐risk readers and evaluate interventions' effectiveness as curriculum‐based measurements. Similar to the standard practice in item response theory (IRT), calibrated passage parameter estimates are currently used as if they were population values in model‐based ORF scoring.

Lexical prosody as an aspect of oral reading fluency

Reading and Writing, 2016
The purpose of the study was to determine whether the lexical compounding, suffixation, and part of speech aspects of lexical prosody rendered while reading text aloud are predictive of children’s developing oral reading fluency and reading comprehension skills.

Artificial Intelligence for Scoring Oral Reading Fluency

2020
We describe assessments in which machine learning has been applied to develop automatic scoring services for constructed responses; specifically to score students’ spontaneous spoken responses. We review a few current largescale examples and then describe recent work with automatic scoring of an oral reading fluency (ORF) instrument that runs on mobile
