What are your ideas and activities to build fluency? Some students are fluent at word level but not sentence level.

Reading does sound different to speaking. Reading fluency is the ability to read accurately, quickly, effortlessly and with appropriate expression and meaning (Rasinski, 2003) Some suggestions for building fluency are:

• Fast Reads - single words
• Reading decodable sentences
• Repeated reading
• Choral reading
• Echo reading
• Reader's Theatre
• Poetry reading and Nursery Rhymes
