The purpose of this literary analysis to address the question: how can oral reading fluency of 4th grade students be enriched? With the onset of a diverse group of students with language barriers and learning disabilities, educators are seeing an influx of students with weaknesses in oral reading fluency. Often time students struggle with reading comprehension and their understanding of the meaning of passages. This deficiency hinders how students communicate in small group settings, one on one and ultimately within themselves. With several strategies to address this issue, it is imperative to begin by knowing your population. In order to know this population, fluency testing, adherence to proven protocols and establishing benchmarks that have clearly defined expectations are needed.
