Extra Fluency Practice
When and How to Use
Who benefits most: Use these fluency pages with students who: • Read accurately by sounding out, • But must sound out almost every word each time, • And have little visual memory for words. Students should have completed at least Lesson 1 in Level 2.
When to use: Spend about 5 minutes on these drills at the beginning and end of a regular tutoring session — never instead of a lesson. Focus on accuracy first, and stop if the student becomes frustrated.
Purpose: Fluency means reading quickly and accurately. These activities give students repeated practice sounding out words, not memorizing them. Over time, this helps build smoother, faster reading.
Tutor tips:
- Each lesson includes four pages. Complete all four if the student can tolerate it.
- Begin with sound pages and end with real words or phrases.
- Students can point with a finger or the word frame.
- You can use pages from the current or a previous lesson.
- Record their results in TutorBird, and have them try to beat their time or decrease errors during the next session.
- Keep the tone light and encouraging — this isn’t drill to kill!
Two ways to practice: 1. Beat Your Time (for competitive students): Read the entire page, record the time, and aim to improve it without increasing errors. 2. Two-Minute Reading (for anxious students): Read for two minutes, then stop and count correct words. Try to increase accuracy and total words over time.
