Fluent readers

A fluent reader is one who reads in a manner pleasing to the 'ears.' Here is an acronym that may clarify what fluency is.

E: Reads with expression

A: Reads with accuracy

R: Reads at an appropriate rate (a speed that is easily understood)

S: Reads smoothly

Please encourage your child to become a more fluent reader. Remember that fluency is NOT just about SPEED. Thank you so much.

At the end of 4th grade, it hoped that a student will be able to fluently read at a rate of 118 words per minute.
