Fluency

The following suggestions will help to improve your child's fluency:

-Read aloud to your child. You will serve as a model for fluent,

expressive reading.

-Choral read several pages together. This means that you and your child

are reading the printed words at the same time. This will help your child with appropriate pacing.

-Echo read. You will read a sentence of text with inflection in your voice. Then, your

child will read back that same line of text that you just read.

-Repeated readings of texts are great for practicing fluency. If your child is

already familiar with a text, they can spend less time decoding words and

more time focusing on fluency.
