GC Family Reading Tips

Maxwell Intermediate School Amanda Leiber, Sixth Grade ELA

"When students can read fluently, their comprehension of the text increases, which means they can understand what they are reading more clearly, which leads to more accurate understanding and better retention. As well as aiding comprehension, reading fluency ensures students are more engaged with the text and more motivated to read."

Mrs. Leiber, shares easy activities that students can do at home to practice reading fluency.

Mrs. Olin shares how to take 'spelling words' (any word really) and "really listen to the sounds to write them. Start with the child saying the word, counting how many syllables and drawing a line on the paper for each syllable. Then have the child say each sound in the syllable and write sound lines on each syllable line."
