متن کاملImproving oral reading fluency assessment using automatic speech processing technologies
Using speech processing technologies with third-grade readers, several new measures of reading rate were developed that involved measuring reading speed of individual words within the context of continuous text. Scores from one test form consisting of three passages were correlated with scores from another test form with three different passages to evaluate each measure’s reliability. Correlati...
متن کاملAutomatic assessment of oral reading fluency for Spanish speaking ELs
