Fluency Directions & Tips
Give the one-minute reading, starting the stopwatch when the child begins the first word
of the passage (student will not read titles). Tell your child that if she or he has trouble
(struggling for more than 3 to 5 seconds), you will say the word so she or he can keep
reading. After one minute, say “Stop,” stop the stopwatch, and circle the last word read.
During the reading, resist the urge to correct mistakes that do not hold up the child's
time. Mistakes and self-correction will be counted in the score. If the child has extreme
difficulty, please let the teacher know. Follow along word by word with your pencil. Slash
( / ) through any words the child misses.
Errors include:
● Skipped words
● Mispronounced words
● Word substitutions, including incorrect forms of the word
● Words in the wrong order; both or all words are counted as wrong
● Struggling that lasts for 3 to 5 seconds or more
The following are not considered misses:
● Added words
● Varying pronunciation due to accent, dialect, or speech impediment
● Repetitions in which the wording is correct
● If a child self-corrects a mistake, the word is scored as correct.
Scoring
Count the total words in the child's reading using the words-per-line totals listed in the
margin. This is the child's words-per-minute reading rate. Mark this on the chart at the
bottom. Then, count the number of errors (slashes). Record this number in the "errors"
box. Subtract the number of errors from the total number of words to find the number of
correct words.
Example: Words 60 - Errors 6 = 54 wpm
USE A DIFFERENT COLOR PEN EACH NIGHT TO KEEP TRACK OF GROWTH!
Fluency Passage
I ride a big yellow bus to school. I stand on the corner of our
street with my friends and we wait for the bus. My friend’s
grandma waits with us. When it’s raining, she holds an umbrella
to keep us dry. Sometimes when it’s cold she brings us hot
chocolate.
I leave my house to walk to the bus stop after my parents go
to work. I watch the clock so I know when to leave. Sometimes
mom phones me from her office to remind me. Sometimes she
can’t call, so I have to be sure to watch the time.
Our bus driver puts his flashing yellow lights on and then
stops right next to us. When he has stopped he turns the red
lights on so all the cars will stop. He makes sure we are all
sitting down before he starts to go. He watches out for us very
carefully.
My friends and I are the first ones to be picked up by the bus.
We like to sit right behind the bus driver and watch while he
picks up all the other kids. We know where everyone lives. By
the time we get to our school, the bus is almost full. Sometimes
the kids get noisy and the driver has to remind us to keep it
down. He says their noise makes it hard for him to concentrate
and drive safely. I am glad that our bus driver is so careful.

USE A DIFFERENT COLOR PEN EACH NIGHT TO KEEP TRACK OF GROWTH!
Fluency Passage Six years ago my family grew from two people to four
people in one day. That was the day my sister and I were born.
That was the day Mom and Dad had to start buying two of
everything. My mom and dad say we were much more than
twice the work of one baby. They also said we gave back more
than twice as much love and fun.
We look just alike because we are identical twins, but we
don’t act just the same. My sister likes peas and beans and I hate
them. I like grape juice and she likes apple juice. She likes to
read. I would rather climb a tree than read a book.
Mom and Dad are the only ones who can tell us apart when
we dress the same. They know the secret. I have a mole on my
ear and my sister doesn’t. We look so much alike that we can
even fool Grandma and Grandpa.
It’s nice to be a twin sometimes. We always have someone
our own age who will share our secrets. Sometimes we don’t
want to share everything. Sometimes it is nice to have my mom
or my toys all to myself. Dad says we aren’t really that much
alike because no person is exactly like anyone else.
