Building Fluency provides everything teachers need to improve students’ oral reading fluency, one of the five essential components of reading identified in Reading First. The books feature a wide range of genres—including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, readers’ theater, speeches, and jokes—carefully selected for their engaging quality, rich language, humor, and cultural literacy value.
Each book also includes assessment selections, a table of oral reading fluency norms, and a tracking sheet for monitoring students’ fluency proficiency.
