Timed Readings Pdf

Most of the time, repeated reading is a strategy that students engage in when reading; they may read a phrase or a sentence again to increase fluency and/or cross-check whether it makes sense. There also may be a need for timed repeated readings, which allow teachers to measure growth and help students see and celebrate improvement. When students see the growth, they understand the importance of reading a text multiple times in their independent reading to increase their fluency and, as a result, their comprehension.
If a student is stuck on a word that matches a current or previous phonics strategy, remind them about the strategy to help them figure it out. Carefully choose your teacher language in order to prompt the student with the least amount of support they need to solve the word on their own. If the word has an irregular part or is a word that a student is unlikely to know from prior reading or phonics, the teacher can wait a few seconds and then supply the word.
Possible areas of focus for repeated reading and feedback include, but are not limited to, scooping words, using expression, self-correcting, using phonics strategies, not giving up, keeping eyes on the text, and remembering a word from a prior text.
Make it visual: Provide a bar graph for the student to color in after their first read. If they read 45 words per minute, they color in 45 squares using a color like yellow. Then, after practicing the text with repeated reading and receiving feedback from the teacher, the student can do a final read and color the next column of squares in green.
I ask the student what helped them improve (or if the score went down, what might be a reason why). Providing ways for students to document their own progress and reflect on what contributed to the progress offers them a tool they can use in future learning.

I have an problem wich i would like some feedback on from more experienced arduino users then me. I hope its not inappropriate to do such a large post as a 1st post. ( i want to explain my issue as clear as possible)
It reads the LDR's and maps the value to a range of 0-4.
Then it looks if there are any LDR's that have a higher value then 2.
If only LDR1 is > 2 turn on LED1, if LDR1 and 2 are > 2 turn on LED2 and so on.
This seems to work ok, when i turn to page 1 LDR1 get's lid and LED1 turn on. I turn to page 2 and LDR1 and 2 get lid and LED2 turn on. But as i mentioned before it's a bit noisy, sometimes when i turn the pages a LED lights up that isn't supposed to light up. :-[
I want to have have the LED switched on after the LDR value is higher then 2 for a specified amount of time.
For example: if LDR1 > 2 for longer then 300ms turn on LED1
if LDR1 and 2 > 2 for longer then 300ms turn on LED2
I'm currently looking into the blink without delay and smoothing examples to see if i can implement it into my programming and
see if it helps with the noise issue.
But i would very much like to hear some input of more experienced users then me.
I am afraid that the method described above won't work in every lighting condition (light rooms, dark rooms, natural light , artifical light). But since i'm new to programming i want to start simple and am learning alot along the way.
My next idea was to have an extra 5th LDR in the book (already in the book prototype i use now) wich is used to determin the lowest and highest brightness of the room the book is in.
Then it compares the other LDR's tot the Value of the 5th LDR and if for example LDR1 is higher or has a value that is close to that of the 5th LDR, LED1 s turned on.
I made a small program that tries to do this but it wasn't working at all. I'm still looking into how to code this so that will work with a LDR that determines the room brightness.
I have no idea, but every example i can find on the arduino site uses A0 t/m A5 to define the analog inputs.
And when i print the value to serial it seems to print the analog values and not just high or low.
Once you can get stable readings from the LDRs, then it is simply a matter of keeping track of when a particular LDR reached a particular value. Storing the times in an array makes it easy. Each time the LDR reading goes above a threshold, record the time in the array. Each time through loop, if the LDR is above the threshold, see how long it has been above the threshold. If it has been above long enough, turn the LED on.
The point is not to light a led, the leds are only there so i know that it send out a signal on the correct digital pin. The end goal is to have the arduino send a digital signal to a voice-IC wich in turn wil play an audio sample over a speaker.
When the LDR is ># store the millis somewhere
Then when the loop runs again and LDR is still ># store millis again and then substract the 1st stored millis from the 2nd and store the remaining value (Let's call it timePassed) and then replace the the 1st stored millis with the 2nd.
Some psuedo code for what you need to do.
On each pass through loop:
Read the LDR value.
If the reading is above the threshold:
If the current reading and the previous reading are above the threshold:
If the current time - previous time is greater than interval:
Turn the LED on
Otherwise, record the time when the LDR went above the threshold.
Save the previous reading.
The LEDS are only there so i can check a signal is coming out of the digital out.
I think i have figured out a way to time the sensorreading, wich i think is similar to ur pseudo code.
Will post the code when i finish it. (Almost time to go home, prolly gonna be friday since i have a day off tommorow)
I'm probably gonna use Alpha AM4EA127A_DB flash or OTP cards as the voice IC. These are very cheap Voice IC's the company i work for uses in their products. They are widely used in greetingcards with sound and electronics.
The reason i'm using arduino now for prototyping is that these chips have no analog inputs to read LDR values.
I'm trying to make a proof of concept that with analog sensors i can make an audiobook that will work under many different or difficult lighting conditions.
But this only works for 1 LDR and 1 led so far.
Now i have to make it so it reads from 5 LDR's.
I can do this by adding new time and average reading variables for every seperate LDR but this seems like a cumbersome way of doing this.
I'm now searching for a way to have multiple LDR's read and have the readings averaged in an effecient way. (not having to need 10lines of code for a each LDR)
Also i'm looking for a way i can reuse the time part to have it reset and start keeping track of time again when LDR1 and 2 are high, reset and start over when LDR1,2 and 3 are high and so on.
Timed Reading for Fluency is a useful series for students who want to develop their reading fluency. Because fluency development requires students to make the best use of what they already know, the reading passages in this series target familiar vocabulary and grammar. Such reading material allows students to practice recognizing and processing texts that they read without undue struggle while aiming toward a faster reading speed. This series of books uses timed readings of standard lengths so that students can track their progress throughout the course.
It's really not ideal for a child who stutters to be forced to read under timed conditions like this, especially when he is being judged on his fluency. This puts undue pressure on the child and send the message that his speech (or reading) must be fluent in order for him to be successful. Such work can undo much of the good work you might do within the therapy setting that would help the child communicate with greater comfort and confidence.
Unfortunately, we're faced with these timed reading tasks that teachers must report, and because teachers often don't have sufficient knowledge and expertise about stuttering, they may think that they're being helpful in giving the child the opportunity to practice in such a manner. The opposite is the case, sadly.
