Oral Reading Evaluation Scheme
When reading orally, I generally listen for the following characteristics to be present when a student reads:
1) Smoothness: reading by good phrasing rather than reading word by word; there should be no pauses unless called for by punctuation or context
2) Alertness to punctuation: stopping at periods, pausing at commas, and raising voice at question marks
3) Volume: reading loudly enough to be heard clearly at the back of the room; holding the book correctly and keeping the head up help the volume to improve
4) Enunciation: saying the words clearly, not mumbling; some will need to slow down in order to accomplish this
5) Speed: reading at a speed that enables the reader to be accurate, smooth, and expressive
6) Accuracy: pronouncing words and reading sentences correctly
7) Poise: having confidence in reading and speaking before others
8) Expression: having good voice inflection to make the story interesting and realistic
Grade Range
A or A- students who read smoothly with proper expression and
need very little help
B+ or B students who have good expression but need to sound out
words occasionally, or who have to reread from time to
time to get good expression
B- or C+ students who need to work on expression, but who know
the words or can sound them out quickly
C or C- students who are having difficulty with words and
expression
D+ or D students who are struggling and must sound out nearly
every word and reread several times before new reading is
smooth
