Intervention Summary

Fluency Formula is a 15-minute daily lesson program that targets students' knowledge and skills in phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. The program uses a variety of strategies, including direct instruction, guided practice, and independent practice, to promote fluent reading, prosody, and oral comprehension. Teachers model fluent reading and ask students to practice through repeated readings, reading with partners, and together in whole class reading. Students practice fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension individually using a program workbook and read library books while listening to an audio CD version of the book.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
