- Pretest: Time the student for 1 minute as they read the passage. Adult marks mistakes on the Assessor Copy while student reads.
- Adult puts a slash mark after the last word read by the student after the minute.
- Adult will then begin the ROAR Process:
- Adult says, “My turn.” Read the first sentence aloud using a finger or pen to make sure the student is looking at each word as you read it. Read at a natural pace with expression.
- Adult says, “Together.” Have the student read the first sentence with you while they point under the words as they are read and you point above the words.
- Repeat the “Read Together” step until the student reads the sentence without mistakes and at the pace you have set. (You can slow down a bit if they can’t keep up.) Do NOT correct individual words. Read the entire sentence again so that words are learned in natural sentences.
- Adult says, “Your Turn.” Have your child read the sentence alone. If he reads it without mistakes, go on to the second sentence.
- Repeat steps a-d as often as needed for accurate and fluent reading.
- Combine several sentences together after each sentence has been practiced alone.
- Continue practicing for 10-12 minutes.
- Posttest: Again time child for 1 minute. Mark mistakes on Assessor Copy. It may be helpful to use a different color for marking the posttest.
