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!!
