I have seen good results from the program Read Naturally. This is
something that parents can be trained to do, as well.

is basically a structured repeated reading of a short poem. If you
can get your hands of his book The Fluent Reader , you will see it
clearly described. The book has many other wonderful ideas for
improving fluency!

Subject: [MOSAIC] fluency and grammar
I am teaching a struggling group of third graders this year. They
fall down on fluency because they are reading so slowly. It is not
so much that they don't know the vocabulary. Any suggestions on how
to build fluency with third graders? In the past I have used
Reader's Theater, choral reading (poems in two voices) and buddy
reading. I am looking for anything else you might suggest. Thanks.
Also, do any of you use a program for old-fashioned grammar (writing
mechanics) or do you strictly do that through your individual
conferencing and mini-lessons?
Thanks.
