A estratégia da velocidade na fluência da leitura oral: um diagnóstico em seis escolas da Região Metropolitana de Belém

Abstract

The study aimed to identify the level of fluency of oral reading, from the velocity component which the provides data on the reading proficiency of students, the second year of high school, six public schools in Belém (PA) in 2013. We used a standard and specific method called Measurement-Based (DENO, 1985), which evaluates the measured reading speed of a subject, which is calculated by subtracting the total errors of the total words read correctly in one minute. This research was conducted with the participation of 76 students in order to observe if they read a fragmented way or in large groups of words and reading can flow smoothly, with a good level of recognition vocabulary. During conducting the research, it was found considerable information taken from the reading samples. Most of students have shown that their reading fluency is way bellow of the expected for the high school students. The majority demonstrated to have a suitable reading still for the beginning of the 9th grade and the other half of the students got proper reading yet for the 6th grade, and some students less than that. According of reading analysis by the CBM method, it is a result of little knowledge of the vocabulary, failures in automatic recognition of words, causing much slowness and hesitation in reading, which may contribute to failures in students understanding.
