4 Steps to Building Fluency with Text
1. Repeated Readings
Read the same passage several times.
Aim to reduce the time and number of
errors with each attempt.
Use this strategy with students
individually, with a peer, or in small groups.
2. Goal Setting
Identify the number of correct words to
read per minute.
Set a goal to read farther in the passage
or make fewer errors.
Define weekly learning targets to monitor
progress overtime.
Identify an end of year grade level
target for number of words read per minute.
3. Corrective Feedback
Give immediate feedback if student makes
an error.
Have the student sound out and repeat the
word.
Have the student go back and re-read the
sentence.
4. Graphing Performance
Let students see their progress by having
them graph their performance.
Have students compare their first read-through
to the next read-through.
Have students track their targets and
progress overtime.
