I agree with Lori. Also there are many other strategies for building fluency,
such as choral reading, and echo reading.
I think the idea behind checking their fluency is to make sure you are
hearing them read every week. Have you had specific fluency training? I know
there are folks at DPI who are interested in seeing our students improve their
fluency, but not to the exclusion of anything else. Our SCOS requires a
balanced approach, and in NC the SCOS is the law. We can lose our jobs, our
license, and face criminal charges if we don't follow it. (Although you don't
hear of that happening very often.)
Are you in a Reading First School, Rosie? It sounds like many of the mandates
you are encountering may be coming from that.
