Reading Fluency and Comprehension Lesson


Website:
http://staff.prairiesouth.ca/~cassidy.kathy/browserbooks/counting.htm
Grade levels: K-5. This lesson can be used across grade levels, either for beginning readers or struggling readers.

Goal: This lesson will work on reading fluency and comprehension, for lower level readers, such as struggling readers or English Language Learners levels 1 or 2. This is an ongoing lesson to increase fluency and comprehension over time.

Objectives: Students will read books online through the website. Students will pick books by a level or subject. On the website books are leveled from 1 to 10. Students will start at the reading level the teacher evaluates them at.

Activity: The student will read a book on the website by clicking the arrows to go to the next or previous page. If a student doesn’t know a word, he/she can click on the word and it will be read to the student. Students will use pictures and the picture clues to help them understand the words they are reading.

Assessment: The teacher will pre-assess and post-assess students by conducting running record levels. Post assessment will be conducted to determine improvement in reading fluency and comprehension.

Evaluation of website educational uses:
This website is really set up for beginning or low level readers. It provides great picture clues for the students to use while reading. It also allows the student to get meaning from their reading, thus leading to increased comprehension.
This site could be used in an intervention class, in the regular class, or even at home. Students that are not struggling with reading, could use the site to work on and/or improve their reading skills.
