Does anyone have experience with the Six Minute Fluency program? My quick internet search leads me to wonder if it's a tool for struggling readers. I am trying to divine what DS9's scores mean and why he's using this program at school.
DS9 is a dysgraphic in a class for dyslexics, which is working out about as poorly as possible. I've just learned that he's reading level 5 passages from this program in class and has been clocked at 276 correct words per minute. That strikes me as sufficiently speedy to not require fluency exercises, but maybe they have some value I haven't discerned? Is level 5 associated with grade 5, or does the program follow a different structure?
I've become accustomed, this year, to discovering that DS9 is being taught using entirely inappropriate materials so it's a struggle to not assume this is a fresh new disaster!
