I am new back on the list serve as well, so have been out of the loop. we are not a reading first school, but just started wth dibels last year, so fluency is an area we will also focus on.
Last year, with some very slow readers in grades 3-5, I found that repeated reading - -one on one - worked the best. I am the reading specialist, so I have the luxury of working one on one at times. I know that sounds very simplistic, but it did increase the rate. I also did some small group strategy instruction with these students. We have not had good luck with Great Leaps.

I have found you to be a wonderful asset to my teaching. A group of teachers have asked that I research strategies that work for fluency. Here is the deal. They would like to focus support (however that might look) on primary grade students that are performing below grade level. There goal is around fluency. I have put my two cents in about comprehension and quality instruction but we are looking at fluency for the time being. This instruction would be outside of their literacy block. With that in mind, what are some of the best "research-based, highly successful" strategies that work with fluency? Just want to pick your brain.
