Considerations in teaching fluency

Guiding Principles of Fluency

Level of text:

  • Independent- students can read easily, making fewer than five mistakes for every 100 words (95% accuracy)
  • Instructional- students typically make fewer than ten mistakes for every 100 words (90%)
  • Frustration- students make more than 10 mistakes for every 100 words (89% or less)
  • Don't assume that fluency instruction can be skipped.
  • Model fluent reading.
  • Maximize the time spent reading.
  • Practice, practice, practice!

What instructional practices support fluency?

  • appropriate leveled texts
  • opportunities to practice reading
  • non-interruptive reading strategy
