The main purposes of MIRP are
to build vocabulary and fluency.
Vocabulary is the
knowledge of words and
word meanings.
Fluency is simply the ability
to read text accurately and
quickly.
How M.I.R.P. Works
In school, Students should read(silently) at least 15-20
minutes a day, five days per week.
At home, students should read at least 25 minutes a
day, five days per week.
Students should select books on their independent
reading level or use the Rule of 5 for selecting a text.
What is the Rule of 5?
The rule of 5 is a system designed to help students
select an appropriate book to read.
Open a book to the middle and begin reading.
For each word you don’t know, put up one finger.
If at the end of the page you have:
5 or more fingers up - too hard and challenging,
save for later book
4 fingers up - very challenging
2-3 fingers up - just right
0-1 fingers up - too easy, vacation book
How M.I.R.P. Works
Students should keep a reading log or journal to record
daily what they have read. ****I will give you this!****
While students are conducting M.I.R.P., I will be
conducting conferencing with individual students.
1. The primary focus of conferences is to provide an
opportunity for students to talk about their reading. I
will ask questions about your text and have students read
orally for a fluency check.
2. At the conclusion of the conference, I will help make
suggestions for further reading and set goals for the
future.
Classroom Rules for M.I.R.P.
Absolutely, no talking!!!!!
You will not leave the classroom or get out of your seat.
Under no circumstance will you interrupt a
conference between another student and myself.
Be prepared, always have your book in class.
No whining
