Year 2 Reading Fluency Assessment – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt (290 LM)

Brand new for 2023/24 is this fantastic reading fluency assessment resource.

This resource features an extract from the superb picture book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury which has a lexile measure (LM) of 290.

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 2, pupils should be able to read texts with a lexile score between 200 and 420 at a rate of 90 words per minute to be considered a “fluent” reader.

Pupil fluency should be assessed as follows in Year 2:

Building Fluency (BF) – Able to read a text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score between 200 and 299.

Almost Fluent (AF) – Able to read a text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score between 300 and 399.

Fluent (F) – Able to read a text at the prescribed speed with a lexile score of 400 or more.
