Reading Fluency for Beginning Readers

Fluent readers read accurately, at a comfortable pace and with expression, which frees their minds to understand. This course gives first and second graders simple routines that build fluency: echo reading, choral reading, repeated reading, phrase reading and reading with punctuation, with a gentle way to track progress.

Every lesson includes a short explanation with examples, a practice activity to do together, a tip for grown-ups and a quiz, and your reader earns a certificate when they finish.
