Once a week, a second-grade teacher conducts a fluency check with each
student. The teacher has the student read aloud an unfamiliar, appropriate-level
passage for one minute as the teacher notes errors on a separate copy of the
passage. The teacher calculates the number of words the student read correctly
during that minute, and both the teacher and the student maintain charts of the
student's weekly progress. This type of activity primarily focuses on which of the
following aspects of reading fluency?
A. accuracy
B. rate
C. prosody
D. automaticity
