Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan (link is external) on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform (link is external).

Literacy: Fluency and Comprehension

Description: 

This unit was developed to provide some online experiences for 2nd graders to improve reading fluency and comprehension for the variety of reading abilities common in a lower elementary classroom.  With a minimal amount of instruction, students have the opportunity to access leveled reading texts, monitor their own reading, and have the ability to have appropriate leveled texts at home.  The teacher can hear students read through the recordings on the site or face to face with the students and give feedback and monitoring.

Learning Targets: 
Improve the accuracy, speed, and expression of reading on-level text
Be able to correctly answer a variety of comprehension questions related to leveled reading passages

How are the standards/objectives assessed?

Grade level assessments through running records, fresh-reads, and district fluency screeners (AIMSweb) using standardized benchmarks.

Weekly tests reading grade-level passages with comprehension questions

Student prerequisite skills and knowledge

Emergent Reading Level

How is the concept or procedure explained or demonstrated?

Whole group demonstration of appropriate handling of equipment

Practice with logins and passwords in the computer lab

Small group practice with online resources

What concepts or procedures are being explained or demonstrated in this lesson object?

Using online resources to practice reading and comprehension at student's individual reading level.

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

Students love using the online sites to access new reading material at their individual reading level.  The challenge is to have young learners be responsible for their own learning.  The sites in the unit work well with small groups and with whole group learning.  I find that if students are wearing their headphones they can record their reading even in a computer lab or in the classroom and the chrome books will pick up the voices of the reader at that station. I have had much success with the site www.raz-kids.com with litening to student recordings and data collection.
