As he presses the start button on the timer, he reads a grade-level passage as quickly as he can, skipping words he does not know. At the beep of the timer he stops reading and records the number of words read on his reading sheet. Austin repeats this process two more times while reading the same passage. Later, Austin's oral reading fluency is assessed by having him read a different grade-level passage for one minute while a teacher records his miscues. His oral reading fluency rate equals the number of words read correctly in one minute. The goal is to reach the benchmark rate for second grade.
