We are very excited about starting our Fluency Folders! Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately and quickly while using expression. Fluency is important,because it allows students to focus on making meaning rather than devoting time and energy to sounding out words. Fluency can be developed and improved by modelingfluent reading and by engaging students in repeated oral reading.
Each week, I will be sending home a short story for your child to practice. Each short story will be taught during the day at school. Please follow these directions when the Fluency Folder comes home on Monday. Please return the binder on Friday.
Thank you in advance for all of the time you spend reading with your child! Thanks for joining me in this journey toward becoming better, more fluent readers!
