Ask AI: Mention two ways to assess a learner's reading fluency (10 marks)

Certainly! Here’s how you could answer the question: **Two Ways to Assess a Learner's Reading Fluency:** 1. **Oral Reading Fluency Assessment (5 marks)** This involves asking the learner to read a passage aloud while the teacher listens. The teacher measures: - **Accuracy:** The percentage of words read correctly. - **Rate:** The number of words read per minute (WPM). - **Prosody:** The learner’s expression, phrasing, and smoothness. The teacher records errors and self-corrections to evaluate how fluently the learner reads, noting hesitations, omissions, or substitutions. 2. **Timed Reading or One-Minute Reading Test (5 marks)** In this method, the learner is given a grade-appropriate passage and asked to read it aloud for one minute. The assessor counts: - The total number of words read correctly during the time. - The number of errors made. This provides a clear quantitative measure of the learner’s reading speed and accuracy, which are key components of fluency. **[Each method is explained in enough detail for 5 marks each, totalling 10 marks.]**
