Year 3 Reading Fluency Assessment – Horrid Henry Reads a Book (420 LM)
Brand new for 2023/24 is this fantastic reading fluency assessment resource. Modelled on the DIBELs reading fluency assessments, but written for a UK rather than US reader, and using a range of fantastic, age-appropriate books!
This resource features an extract from Francesca Simon and Tony Ross’ book Horrid Henry Reads a Book, which has a lexile measure (LM) of 420.
There is a pupil extract and then an adult mark-sheet including script and space to record pupil name, date of assessment and assessment scores.
Across Year 3, pupils should be able to read texts with a lexile score between 400 and 640 at a rate of 95 words per minute to be considered a “fluent” reader.
Pupil fluency should be assessed as follows in Year 3:
Building Fluency (BF) – Able to read a text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score between 400 and 499.
Almost Fluent (AF) – Able to read a text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score between 500 and 599.
Fluent (F) – Able to read at text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score of 600 or more.
