Abstract

In the context of the pandemic, remote learning had to be adopted and raised several questions regarding learning. Seeking to fill this gap, assessment methods such as Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) can help in tracking students who have reading difficulties or are at risk for dyslexia. This study aims to evaluate and monitor the oral reading fluency of schoolchildren from the 2nd to 5th grades of Elementary School every four months. 120 schoolchildren will participate in this research, divided into: G1: 30 schoolchildren from the 2nd year, G2: 30 students from the 3rd year, G3: 30 schoolchildren from the 4th year and GIV: 30 schoolchildren from the 5th year. Schoolchildren will undergo a Fluency Performance Assessment (ADFLU) which will be recorded and timed. For the analysis of each text of the ADFLU, the PCPM and the PIPM will be calculated, these data will be statistically analyzed in the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) program.(AU)
