For me, one of the best answers is readers theater or other types of oral performance. Performers have to practice by reading and rereading. They have to put "expression" into their voices. A real purpose for fluency because what we're calling fluency is oral reading which is not necessarily the same as silent reading and certainly not the same as performing. If kids have an authentic purpose for practicing they may be more likely to actually work at it, care about it.
