FE-FI-FO FLUENCY FUN!

Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently.

Children who do not read with fluency sound choppy and awkward. Those students may have difficulty with decoding skills or they may just need more practice with speed and smoothness in reading.

Here are some fluency charts that I use in my classroom.  The students will read the chart individually and together out loud during calendar time, free choice time, and any spare time we have in our school day.  I will leave one of the charts up for a day, a couple of days, or a week.  Some of the charts I use in my classroom are; letters, letter sounds, sight words, word family words, and numbers.    





Fluency is also important for motivation; children who find reading difficult tend not to want read!

To find out what a kid can do to help themselves, what parents can do to help at home, and what teachers can do to help at school...check out the resource listed below.

  2. Do you have this as a freebie? Love how each child would create a different order. Every time they switch partners the grid would be slightly different.What a great way to practice letter/sound fluency for AIMS Web.

  7. The North America Carbon Black Market is expected to register a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period. The major factor driving the market is the increasing number of tire plants and expansion projects. The paints and coatings market in the United States too is growing at a steady rate owing to the growing demand from the construction, transportation, consumer appliances industry. Such positive growth is expected to drive the carbon black market in the United States through the forecast period. Carbon black is furthermore, used as a color pigment in plastics, paints and coatings, printing inks etc. Plastic production has been increasing at a steady pace in the United States owing to growth in the packaging industry, which is supported by positive retail sales in the country.

Most students are drawn to these types of articles and information, but they are unable to prepare for their exams, If you have been struggling with your exams and want assistance, students can pay to do my online class - pay someone to do my online class and get higher grades on their examinations by providing them with the best available resources, including quality academic services.
