How do you score nonsense word fluency?

CALCULATING FINAL SCORE Add number of correct letter sounds (CLS) and whole words read (WWR) for each line (up to bracket). Add number of CLS and then number of WWR correctly, separately, from each line. Record total CLS and then WWR in space provided in lower right corner of scoring page.

What is nonsense word fluency CLS?

Nonsense Word Fluency (NWF) assesses knowledge of basic letter-sound correspondences and the ability to blend letter sounds into consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) and vowel-consonant (VC) words. The Correct Letter Sounds (CLS) is the number of letter sounds produced correctly in 1 minute.

How do I increase my nonsense fluency?

Is there a link between reading fluency and nonsense words?

The other assessment instrument is the Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) test. This test allows the student one minute to read a passage and a score is determined by how many words they read correctly. Research indicates a link between Nonsense Word Fluency achievement and Oral Reading Fluency(Fien, 2010).
