GRADE 5
DORF Retellshould includeat least 25% of the words – 1 point yes; 1 point off if NOTin the text
DORF Sample
GRADE 2
Three Components of FluencyAccuracy in word recognition (word decoding)
◦Measure: 95% is considered adequate for instructional level reading
Automaticity in word recognition (effortless and automatic to free up brain power for comprehension) ◦Measure: Words Per Minute (WPM) which has grade
level norms Prosody/Expression: use new-found cognitive
energy to engage in interpretive and meaningful reading ◦Measure: Qualitative rubric

Ways To Build Fluency & Comprehension (Fluency Station Activities)
Choral Reading (with different types of texts)Practiced & Recorded Reading for
Audience (e.g., podcasting) Character Strips with Feeling CardsCooperative Repeated ReadingReader’s Theatre Tape reading - could record RT and then
follow along with scripts or have audio recordings of books
More ideas….see optional reading resources on the wikispace
Choral Reading (Review, discuss purpose and tone, then read together)

Character Strips & Feeling Cards
Choose a feeling word and read the sentence with that feeling. Talk about ways each is similar or different.

Extra Fluency Resources (optional) on the wikispace
Review Quiz
Mental Representation: What does it look like? (a network of nodes and connectors organized to match the logical structure of the text and the key ideas)
Right there questions (literal) should not require readers to make ANY inferences (even referential ones – e.g., “THEY are taking over and threatening nature’s food web”
