Abstract
In recent years, the United States has seen a decline in literacy rates which was made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic. This decline has reaching effects on all learners, but most intervention work is done at the elementary level leaving middle and high school struggling readers vulnerable to long term consequences. This capstone project’s creation was driven by the question in what ways might a student driven oral reading fluency (ORF) progress monitoring curriculum support student engagement, reading fluency, and reading comprehension for secondary learners? Oral Reading Fluency is the ability to read texts aloud with accuracy, in a smooth manner, and with appropriate expression and speed. Based on research in oral reading fluency, reading comprehension, and student motivation, this once-a- week semester-long curriculum provides the resources for secondary students to practice and self-monitor their fluency skills. The implementation of this curriculum project will result in student growth in literacy and increased reading stamina.
