Fluency needs to be modeled, practiced, and approached in a strategic manner for those that it does not come naturally. Fluency activities also need to be multi-dimensional. One of the sayings in my room is that fluent reading sounds like talking! Then we talk about what that means.
That our rate actually changes, our voices go up and down and we use expression. All of this helps the listener to understand or comprehend the meaning behind what we are saying. Good fluency leads to better comprehension and that is what reading is all about! One thing we work on to improve our fluency is to practice scooping words into phrases. Readers who do not have good fluency will not automatically read this way. They may either read word by word or they may read so fast the words blend into each other.
Either way, comprehension is affected. Modeling and practicing how to scoop words together is important. Students can help scoop the words into phrases using chart paper and poems. You can take a page or passage from a book and write it on chart paper for students to help scoop into phrases.
Or use a document camera and your Smartboard! But modeling and practice are going to be essential to gaining improvement. They may not have a large enough bank of learned sight words. Sight words must be automatic to allow the reader to keep the right pace when they read. So one of activities that my students do is to practice sight words in different fun ways until they do become automatic. Students also can do a quick phrasing practice with words that are already scooped together for them.
I like for students to hear me model what it sounds like too! Just a few minutes a day can make a big difference. Fluency will be a struggle if the text is too difficult. A huge part of fluency is being able to read the words automatically and accurately. If the words are too difficult, fluency will be compromised. If you want to really zero in on fluency, find a text that is almost too easy. This takes the brain off figuring out the words and on to fluency. The ultimate goal of fluency is better comprehension.
Incorrect phrasing and a slow rate of speed can impede comprehension, especially as texts get longer. Are you ready for something totally cool? Introducing scooping phrases! You can also just make up your own sentence. The key is that s he knows how to say all the words so you can focus primarily on phrasing. Sentences look like a string of words all put together. But really, sentences have groups of phrases that are said together to help us better make meaning of what we read.
Let me show you how. Rather boring. One thing I did differently was group the words into phrases. This is called phrasing. Now, you try it.
