Expression and Volume

1

Reads mostly word by word. Very little expression or enthusiasm in voice. Little sense of trying to make text sound like natural language. Volume is generally very soft.
2

Some expression, but not consistent. Attempts to use voice to make text sound like natural language, but not all the time. Reading is mostly word by word, which inhibits expression. Volume is generally soft.
3

Sounds like natural language for the better part of the passage. Reading is a mixture of word by word reading, fluent, and phrased reading. Volume is generally appropriate throughout the text.
4

Sounds like natural language. Reading has excellent expression and enthusiasm. The reader is able to vary expression and volume to reflect the meaning of the text.
Phrasing

1

Sounds much like a "robot." Reads mostly word by word with little, if any, multi-word phrasing.
2

Reads mostly in two word groups, with some three word groups and some word by word portions. A small portion of the text may be read with expression.
3

Almost all of the reading is appropriately phrased. There is some three-four word group phrasing but not consistently. Reader attempts to read expressively and some of the story is read with expression.
4

Almost all of the reading is appropriately phrased. Reading is in larger, meaningful phrase groups. There attention to expression.
Smoothness

1

Long pauses between words. Lack of sufficient vocabulary hinders fluent reading. Little, if any, attention to punctuation.
2

Frequent "jerks" in the reading where the student stops to problem solve. Flow becomes disruptive. Pauses may be awkward due to lack of word knowledge or failure to observe punctuation.
3

Reads with occasional breaks in rhythm. The reader has difficulty with specific words and/or sentence structures.
4

Reads smoothly with some breaks, but self-corrects with difficult words and/or sentence structures.
