Why Practice Fluency? “Fluency practice helps teachers monitor student
progress in regards to automatic word recognition and phrasing. The ability to read fluently has a direct correlation to reading comprehension. Letter-Sound Fluency, Letter-Name Fluency, Phrase Fluency, Sentence, and Passage Fluencies are spaced throughout units based on which level/book instruction is delivered. While not an assessment tool, fluency practice provides ongoing information about automatic word recognition.” ~ VoyagerLearning.com
