## Core Concepts

### WCPM (Words Correct Per Minute)
The gold standard metric for oral reading fluency. In a standard ORF assessment, WCPM equals total words read in 60 seconds minus errors.

### Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level
Reading difficulty formula: 0.39 × (words/sentences) + 11.8 × (syllables/words) - 15.59

### ORF Benchmarks
National norms from Hasbrouck & Tindal research showing expected WCPM scores by grade level and time of year.
