How do you calculate reading fluency?

Reading fluency is typically calculated by measuring a student's Words per minute (WPM) reading rate, along with accuracy and expression. A common method is to have the student read a passage aloud for a set amount of time, then calculate the WPM by counting the total Words read. Accuracy is usually assessed by tracking any errors made while reading. Expression can be evaluated by considering intonation, pacing, and overall fluency in reading.
