EXTEMPORANEOUS READING
Instructions to judges:
1. IMPORTANT: DO NOT hand out copies of the passage to the students who are
waiting.
2. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the passage you have been given
with this rubric before listening to the first student. This is a competition, but with the
overall purpose of helping students to improve in and become more enthusiastic about
their target language.
3. Please allow only one student at a time to enter the room. Take the rubric and verify the
students name, level, language, and letter. Do not judge any student who is not wearing
a name tag.
4. When you are ready, please give the passage to the student to look at for one minute,
before beginning to read. Do not answer any questions. After one minute, ask the student
to proceed. Use the rubric below to give your honest professional opinion of the students
reading. If a student hesitates for more than a few seconds at any point, please give a
prompt. Students will eventually see their results, so please feel free --though not
obligated-- to provide encouraging comments and advice to help them improve.
5. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the student returns the passage to you before
leaving the room.
6. For District Contests only: Please keep in mind that we are hoping to send approximately
half of todays competitors on to state competition. This is in no way a mandate, as some
groups may have an unusually high number of students who deserve to move on --or to be
eliminated. It is merely a basic guideline to keep in mind. Students will need a score of at
least 15 in order to advance to state competition.
7. After all students have competed and the allotted competition time window has elapsed,
please select the top three students from your group. Each component of the rubric is
initially weighted equally. In the event of a tie for 1 st, 2nd, or 3rd place, however, the
components are arranged in order of importance to AFLTA, with pronunciation being the
first tie-breaker to consider, fluency the second, etc. Please do not allow a tie in the top
three spots. Use your discretion to choose the winner. Please give your results to the
messenger stationed outside your room, so that they can be processed.
