Reading Fluency
Camille L. Z. Blachowicz HIGH-BEGINNING TO LOW-INTERMEDIATE
u u u u u u

Students learn to read smoothly, accurately, and expressively. Repeated readings improve vocabulary and comprehension. Immediate feedback and self-assessment improve oral reading skills. Seventy-two high level interest fiction and non-fiction narrative passages for repeated oral reading. Seven readability levels to match students independent readings levels. Extensive teacher notes with research background and classroom-tested ideas.

Students work in pairs, and at comfortable reading levels, practice reading aloud smoothly, accurately, and expressively. One student reads aloud a narrative fiction or nonfiction passage from the nonconsumable Reader. A partner uses the consumable Readers Record, marking errors and scoring the oral reading. Repeated readings encourage students to increase their fluency.
