ADDRESSING THE ORAL READING FLUENCY NEEDS OF STUDENTS USING THE BRIEF ASSESSMENT MODEL by Jennifer Bross The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the brief assessment model on improving the oral reading fluency rates of three fourth grade students in Southwest Ohio. A brief assessment was conducted with each student to determine the most effective reading fluency intervention. The intervention was implemented with each student over a period of four to seven weeks. Each student showed increases in their oral reading fluency rates through the use of their “most effective” intervention strategy. Discussion of results and suggestions for future research are described.
