I do most fluency work in small groups with decodable passages and sentences. We also do partner reading with familiar text. I also send home a nightly passage parents can use to practice fluency at home. I also switched to focus on the 109 power words shown below before tackling other lists and phrases.

Here are some ways I incorporate reading fluency into my daily instruction:

**Daily Read-Alouds:** I read aloud daily to model fluent reading.

**Echo Reading:** Students mimic my reading style to develop their fluency.

**Choral Reading:** The whole class reads a passage together in unison.

**Partner Reading:** Students pair up and take turns reading to each other.

**Timed Repeated Readings:** Students read the same passage multiple times within a set time limit.

**Fluency Passages:** Short daily passages for practice, focusing on accuracy, rate, and

**Fluency Games:** Games like flashcards or reading races to improve speed and accuracy.

**Morning Fluency Warm-Ups:** Quick exercises to start the day, like reading a few sentences aloud.

**Guided Reading Groups:** Small group instruction with immediate feedback on reading aloud.

I rotate these activities to ensure reading fluency is consistently practiced and integrated into daily instruction.

I incorporate fluency by making my word wall interactive. I have the students to choose a letter and read all of the words under that letter. I also have given my students short passages and had them to draw a picture about what they have read. My fluent readers like to do readers theater.
