Hanah is a 3rd grade student in your general education reading class. When your mid-year assessment (MOY) was administered to her, Hannah fell below the benchmark for fluency as measured by number of words correctly read aloud per minute. You decide to implement progress monitoring for Hannah to determine her weekly growth for fluency rate. Included below is the data from the 7-weeks of instruction:

Week (x) Score on Probe (y)

Week 1 40wpm

Week 2 40wpm

Week 3 43wpm

Week 4 44wpm

Week 5 48wpm

Week 6 48wpm

Week 7 46wpm

Her targeted growth rate is 1.6

In order to determine if Hannah needs tier 2 interventions you need to assess her fluency growth rate across the 7 weeks of data collection. Calculate the slope of the data.

(y₂ - y₁) / (x₂- x₁) = growth rate

What recommendations would you have for Hannah's team of teachers?
