Fluency and Word Study part 1

Ensuring that struggling readers have proper text:
By teaching students proper strategy on how to choose books that are level appropriate to them you can ensure that they are reading level proper text. Also, giving students access to books they can actually read  and are of interest to them would keep them reading and encouraged. With independent reading time, students have a chance to read books that are on their level.

Environments with opportunity to read:
Providing students with a large classroom library that is well organized according to topics can encourage students to read because they will find books that are of interest to themselves. Creating a peaceful environment where students have some quiet time to read will also encourage reading.

Modeling Fluent Reading:

Teaching students using Read aloud, allows teachers to model fluency in reading. Teachers can show intonation, sarcasm, the use of different voices or tone of voice. By modeling poor reading fluency and asking students to point out what is missing, students can realize and understand the importance of fluent reading. Pointing out to students what it entails to be a fluent reader such as Smoothness, correctness and the use of expression can also build an awareness of fluency.
