We all understand that having current information about a student’s learning help in guiding our ongoing practice. When there are so many things that compete for time in our day, sometimes it’s difficult to get to those formative assessments. And it’s in these times that I find efficiency and speed is my friend. Even though you do have access to our One-Minute Fluency assessments, maybe you want to do your own or share it with your classroom teachers. That’s where Intervention Central has some great interventions that may be useful. On this blog’s Resources links, you’ll find CBM Reading Passages and CBM Maze Passages. These two generators allow you to create your own One-Minute Fluency running records or Maze Comprehension measures [with assigned readability levels]. Take your favourite passages and copy/paste into the boxes and a PDF is generated for you to use. Information gleaned from the running records will offer insights on what needs to be addressed.
