Description
How to Teach Reading Fluency
Fluent readers read with accuracy, at a smooth pace, and with expression, and that makes it easier to understand what they read. This Read it Fluently cooperative learning activity gives second, third and fourth grade students a fun way to practice fluency with a partner.
Using the Partner Reading Game
One partner picks a sentence strip card and reads it out loud. The other partner listens and holds up a rating card from 1 to 4, from Keep Practicing to Smooth Reader. The reader writes the card number and the score on the Fluency Score Sheet and colors a star for every 4. After five 4s, partners switch jobs. The sixteen sentence cards use exclamation points, question marks, commas and dialogue, so every card gives children a chance to change their voice. It also works well as a 2nd grade fluency activity in a reading center.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use teacher page
- 16 sentence strip cards
- Two sets of 1 to 4 rating cards
- Fluency Score Sheet
- Second grade practice worksheet on reading with expression
- Answer keys for the sentence cards and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, reading the same kind of short sentence many times builds accuracy and a smooth pace. Second, listening and rating helps the partner notice what fluent reading sounds like. Third, the end marks and dialogue teach children to read with expression, which helps them understand how a character feels.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the read it fluently cooperative learning activity during guided reading, in a literacy center, or as a quick warm-up before independent reading. Model a sentence read in a flat voice and then with expression, and let children rate you first. At home, families can take turns reading the cards and cheering for each 4.
