Introducing the FISH Fluency Screener for older struggling students
Read3 is proud to release the FISH Reading Fluency Screener!
FISH stands for 'Fluency Indicators in a Story Hierarchy'. The FISH screener was created for educators and speech pathologists working with older students with significant literacy challenges.
FISH is ideal for students aged 8 years and over. It features a sequence of short, decodable stories that will provide valuable insights into a student's reading fluency and phonic skills.
In 5-10 minutes, using the hierarchy of FISH stories and fluency norms, you can establish an appropriate starting point for targeted literacy intervention. Let the data guide you and start making a difference in the lives of older struggling readers.
In the following video (14 mins), Robyn discusses:
- the role of reading fluency
- the value of decodable text when reviewing fluency rates with beginner readers, and
- how to administer and score FISH
