Fluency enables children to concentrate on the meaning of what they're reading rather than on the process of figuring out words. Privately listen to each of your students read a passage on his or her level. Next, observe the behavior of children during reading lessons in class. Read aloud interesting books to children often to familiarize them with written language. Use lots of our recorded books.
Students listen two to three times, and most often read back with much greater fluency.
Identify students' strengths with the Reading Style Inventory , and use the recommended reading methods that capitalize on their strengths. Write stories dictated by students on large chart paper. Read the stories to the children at a slightly slower pace, with good expression, while pointing to the words. Repeat this process often. Have the children choral-read small parts as they are ready.
