Abstract

What is the relationship between a multi-faceted small group of fluency skills and assessment scores? Fluency is one essential building block of a student’s growing literacy. This study aims to investigate the relationship between implementing fluency skills in small groups and a student’s assessment scores. Structured groups were built according to student fluency level. These groups met two-four times a week and implemented a variety of fluency skills, such as repeated reading, pre-reading vocabulary, and tracing sight words.

My analysis of this research has shown that there is a positive correlation between the small-group intervention of fluency skills and student assessment scores. After receiving this intervention, students oral reading fluency scores increased.

Multifaceted Small Group Instruction: Effects on Assessment Scores

What is the relationship between a multi-faceted small group of fluency skills and assessment scores? Fluency is one essential building block of a student’s growing literacy. This study aims to investigate the relationship between implementing fluency skills in small groups and a student’s assessment scores. Structured groups were built according to student fluency level. These groups met two-four times a week and implemented a variety of fluency skills, such as repeated reading, pre-reading vocabulary, and tracing sight words.

My analysis of this research has shown that there is a positive correlation between the small-group intervention of fluency skills and student assessment scores. After receiving this intervention, students oral reading fluency scores increased.
