The effect of the partner’s reading strategy on developing fluency in oral reading among third grade students

The study aimed to reveal the effect of the partner's reading strategy on developing oral reading fluency among third grade students in Jordan, and whether there were statistically significant differences in their fluency in oral reading due to the gender variable, and the interaction between the teaching strategy and gender. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers adopted the Florida Test of Oral Reading Fluency, 2009, after adapting it to suit the Arabic reading skill, and verifying its validity and stability indicators. The study members consisted of (48) male and female students chosen from (10) schools affiliated to the Directorate of Education of the Bani Kenana District. The study members were randomly divided into two groups, (24) male and female students in the control group who studied according to the usual method, and (24) male and female students in the experimental group who studied according to the partner’s reading strategy adopted in this study. The results of the study showed that there were statistically significant differences in fluency in oral reading due to the teaching strategy for the benefit of the experimental group members who studied according to the partner’s reading strategy. The results also showed the presence of statistically significant differences in fluency in oral reading due to the gender variable in favor of females, and the absence of statistically significant differences due to the interaction between the teaching strategy and gender.
