Burns, Matthew K.; Tucker, James A.; Hauser, Andrea; Thelen, Renee L.; Holmes, Katherine J.; White, Kelly

Assessment for Effective Intervention, v28 n1 p1-7 Fall 2002

A study examined relationships between reading fluency and comprehension by having 49 students (grades 3-4) orally read four passages with an incrementally increased percentage of scrambled words. A suggested criterion of approximately 50 words/minute was found using the mean fluency rate of the highest passage of demonstrated adequate comprehension. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
