Which reading fluency level is identified by 60-80 words per minute?

The reading fluency level identified by 60-80 words per minute corresponds to the Instructional Level. At this stage, students can read texts that are slightly challenging but are still able to comprehend and engage with the material with support. This level indicates that students are developing their reading skills and can benefit from guided instruction. Reading at this rate allows them to build fluency and confidence while still receiving some assistance to address any difficulties they encounter.

In contrast, other levels, such as the Frustration Level, would indicate a reading pace where the student finds the text too difficult to read successfully without significant help, leading to decreased comprehension. The Independent Level reflects a higher fluency rate, where students can read more quickly and comprehensively without assistance. Basic Comprehension doesn't specifically define a fluency level but rather relates to the understanding of the material presented, which does not correlate directly to a specific words-per-minute benchmark.
