and Richard Allington indicate that struggling readers need a book that is not difficult or too easy. Therefore, for my fluency evaluation of Noahs reading, I chose The Very Hungry
Caterpillar by Eric Carle, because I hooped that reading about a subject found in the natural world would grab his interest and attention and this proved to be the case.

lifetimes. Noah seemed intrigued and curious about what this transformation might entail. While Noah has had nearly a full academic year of instruction in reading, his first reading
