As a second grade teacher, it is vital to have my students
practice their fluency on a daily basis. At this point, they are still learning
to read and are making the transition to reading to learn. It is common to see
that most students who are struggling with fluency will most likely struggle
with comprehension.
Therefore, practice is the key for building fluency. When I work with my fluency intervention groups, I target
independent practice, small group activities, technology, and independent
writing activities all using the fluency
phrases below.
PowerPoint slideshow: I like to use this during our breakfast time. As students are eating, I time the slideshow to project the phrases on the screen for daily practice. Trying to fit in as much as I can all in a day’s worth! :)
Flash cards: These are put on rings. I have all 80 in one ring for those students that can easily handle all the fluency phrases. I also have them divided by level for those that I want to practice a specific level.
Writing: I like to use these worksheets because I am
targeting two skills in one: fluency and handwriting. I can easily slip these
inside a sheet protector or dry erase sleeve to use over and over again!
Finally, the most important aspect of this fluency packet:
assessment and progress monitoring. There is a student form, I only print one
of these and enough copies of the checklist. I include a graph for students to
monitor and color in their own progress. I test my students every 6 weeks, but also included a graph with more date
slots just in case.
Head on over to my TPT store to download a PREVIEW of these
activities and see if they are a fit for your students!
How do you target fluency in your classroom? I’d love to hear from you in the comments
below. Until next time friends!
Hello I have a quick question, when the students read the words for fluency do they time themselves? If so how much time would be just the right time for a student to read each level? Thank you this is awesome!!
