- Quantitative dimension (e.g., word frequency, sentence length)
- Qualitative dimension (e.g., themes, genres, tone) (correct)
- Reader and task considerations (e.g., reader's interests, purposes)
- Sociolinguistic dimension (e.g., dialect, cultural relevance)

Study Notes
Reading Comprehension and Fluency
- A third-grade student demonstrating proficient reading skills at the beginning of the school year, but experiencing difficulty comprehending grade-level texts, would benefit from in-depth assessment and targeted instruction focused on acquiring grade-level academic language and vocabulary.
- The student's comprehension has dropped below grade level, despite meeting grade-level expectations in reading fluency.
Factors Affecting Reading Comprehension
- A second-grade student struggles with word-reading accuracy when reading a grade-level informational passage, but performs well when the teacher reads the passage aloud, highlighting the importance of listening comprehension skills.
Text Complexity and Reading Comprehension
- Teachers should consider qualitative dimensions of a text, such as complexity, to select appropriately challenging books for independent reading.
- Two books with the same level can present different challenges to readers, highlighting the importance of considering qualitative dimensions.
Fluency Development and Assessment
- To ensure that data collected provides a measure of individual students' fluency development across all fluency indicators, teachers should assign scores for accuracy and prosodic elements such as expression and phrasing during the CFS.
Differentiated Instruction for Fluency Development
- For students with fluency profiles showing reading rate scores at the 75th percentile and prosody rubric scores of two, activities such as reading and rereading decodable passages aligned to grade-level phonics skills with feedback on accuracy would be beneficial.
Fluency Instruction and Interventions
- Based on student data, teachers can draw conclusions regarding fluency instruction, such as grouping students for targeted fluency interventions or providing individualized intensive interventions focused on increasing reading rate and improving reading comprehension strategies.
Phonemic Awareness and Reading Difficulties
- To determine the cause of students' word-reading errors, teachers can administer diagnostic assessments in phonemic awareness, phonics, syllabication, and word analysis to identify critical gaps in phonemic awareness.
