Conducting an ORF Assessment

1. Choose a fluency reading passage that the student can read independently with 95%-100% accuracy.
2. Give the student a copy of the unnumbered reading passage. Set a timer and have them read aloud for one minute.
3. During reading, use the teacher’s copy of the passage to note any errors made by the student. Only mark errors that are not self-corrected within three seconds.
4. Calculate a student’s average reading rate by subtracting errors from the number of correct words read in one minute.
5. If the selected text is too easy or challenging for the student, repeat the assessment with a more appropriate passage.
