Hi, Repeated reading is key. You can use Great Leaps, a series of graded pre numbered passages (to quickly calculate CWPM), or any interesting text at the students independent level. I have my students keep bar graphs showing their improvement on hot and cold reads. Also, having them tape their reading, and then listening to it back, while following along with the text, is fun for them, and helpful as well, as they begin to 'hear' what they sound like, and begin to notice error patterns.

I need to give some recommendations to a parent about how to work with her third grade child in the area of fluency. He has good decoding skills but is very choppy. I have given her all of my best recommendations in previous years, and I was wondering if anybody has any interesting or different ideas that have worked well. Thank you! _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
