What is Fluency Passage Practice?
Practicing with fluency passages is an important part of helping your child improve with their ability to read fluently. If your child makes many errors while reading or the reading does not sound like a spoken conversation, he or she needs to practice reading fluency. Early readers spend a great deal of energy sounding out (decoding) the words on the page. Their reading often sounds robotic - not fluent. As a child learns the phonetic rules and can apply them, along with having automatic recall of all sight words, reading begins to sound more like fluent reading.
By fourth grade your child should be reading a minimum of 93 wpm. (words per minute) at the beginning of the year. Students progress to a reading rate of 105 wpm by mid-year. As the fourth grade year comes to a close, your child should be reading at least 118 wpm.
You will need to print out 2 copies of each passage (one for you and your child). Set a timer for one minute. Mark through any words read incorrectly or skipped. Place a bracket around the last word read within the one minute time frame., and count all the words read correctly.
