Frequently Asked Questions
What is reading fluency progress monitoring?
Progress monitoring tracks a student's WCPM growth over time--typically weekly or biweekly--to determine if a reading intervention is working. Unlike benchmark screening (3x/year), progress monitoring provides frequent data points that show whether a student is on a growth trajectory toward grade-level fluency. It is a core requirement of RTI Tier 2/3 and MTSS frameworks.
How often should I monitor reading fluency progress?
For students in reading intervention (RTI Tier 2/3), monitor WCPM every 1-2 weeks. For benchmark screening, assess all students 3 times per year (fall, winter, spring). Weekly monitoring provides enough data points to detect meaningful trends within 4-6 weeks. If a student shows no growth after 6-8 data points, the intervention should be adjusted.
What is a fluency probe?
A fluency probe is a brief, timed reading assessment (typically 60 seconds) using a grade-level passage to measure WCPM. It is the standard tool for reading fluency progress monitoring. ReadingFluency automates fluency probes with AI: the student reads aloud, AI transcribes and scores, and results are plotted on a growth chart against grade-level benchmarks.
