The Fluent Reader activities within Imagine Language & Literacy offer a way for Teachers and Administrators to evaluate students' oral reading fluency.
“Cold” Oral Reading Fluency Activities
There are 36 fluency passages that you can assign to your students via a Playlist. The passages are “cold” in the sense that they are not dependent on an accompanying book for context.
The table below provides the Word Count, Grade Level, and Lexile® measure of the uncontextualized oral reading fluency activities that are are available for you to assign to your students. To manually assign or reassign one of the passages listed below, follow the steps in the "Cold" ORF Activities tab here.

Contextualized ("Warm") Oral Reading Fluency Activities
The passages below are the original fluency activities that were available in the program before the addition of the "cold" activities. The contextualized activities are automatically assigned at different points in a student’s learning path. Each passage reflects the themes, characters, and content of the book lesson from which the fluency activity is launched.
The table below indicates where to locate the contextualized fluency activities that are delivered automatically to students as part of their learning sequence. To manually assign or reassign one of the passages listed below, follow the steps in the Contextualized ORF Activities tab here.
Note
The Lexile measures and word counts listed in the table below are for the portion of the book that students are asked to read aloud, and not for the entire book. That is why they do not match the Lexile measures or word counts listed in the printouts available in Teacher Resources. For example, the full-length version of the book King Midas has an overall Lexile of 410L and a word count of 277, while the excerpt has a Lexile of 390L and a word count of 158.
