Fluency: reading smoothly

Comprehension: understanding what is being read and being able to talk about meaning of text

Follow these steps to help with fluency and comprehension!

v     Read 1 page out loud.

v     Talk about what the text meant. (Don’t just repeat  

       what the text said, but what did it mean? Put it in your   

       own words.)

v     Re-read the page out loud.

v     If the reading still sounds choppy, read the page a third   

       time.

v     Follow those steps for each page in the book.

v     Read the book multiple times a week.

This process will work best for short, picture books.
