Fluency Resources
The Fluency Resources collection helps to build and assess student fluency to improve reading comprehension. Each Fluency Packet provides 40+ passages – enough to use approximately 1 passage per week – to build student fluency throughout the academic year.
Though fluency does not guarantee comprehension, lack of fluency guarantees students will not be able to comprehend text. Research has shown that fluency instruction can have significant and positive impact on word recognition, fluency, and comprehension across a range of grade levels.
These resources emphasize key aspects of the college- and career-ready standards, including additional support for fluency, a critical Foundational Skill. Reading at an appropriate rate, with expression and accuracy based on text and purpose, will help ensure success with grade level complex text comprehension. The resources below explain how to regularly measure, practice, and develop reading fluency.
