FAQFrequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Fluency refers to a student's speed, smoothness, and ease of oral reading. Fluent readers read more quickly and smoothly, allowing them to focus on comprehension. Fluent readers gain more meaning from the text they read. Because fluency leads to comprehension, fluent readers enjoy reading more than students who devote all their energy to sounding out words. A running record is an individual assessment of oral reading accuracy and fluency. How can I improve my child's fluency at home? *Read to your child and model fluency. *Have your child read to you. *Have your child repeat oral readings of their favorite book. *Have your child recite silly poems, nursery rhymes, and tongue twisters.
