TIPS FOR PROMOTING SUMMER FLUENCY DEVELOPMENT

TIPS FOR PROMOTING SUMMER FLUENCY DEVELOPMENT

Obviously, fluency is not a skill that develops overnight. Like most reading skills, it takes consistent practice and requires your child to read EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

Here is a review of a few tips and suggestions I shared in this post to help you promote fluency development at home this summer:

• Encourage repeated reading (reading a text multiple times)
• Read lots of poetry
• Choose books that are at easier levels
• Build in time everyday for your child to practice reading
• Read to your child to model appropriate fluency
• Encourage your child to read along with audio books
• Have your child record their voice while reading to reflect and set goals
• Switch it up — echo read, choral read, and partner read
