Description
Reading Fluency Strategies and Activities: Tips for Parents and Teachers
This reading fluency packet includes strategies and activities perfect for parent-teacher conferences! Provide this resource to parents so they have tangible tools to help their children with fluency and accuracy.
In this reading fluency strategies file, you will find:
- eight useful and effective tips for helping children while they are reading out loud
- prompts and activities or strategies to use with the child depending on their area of struggle (note: different prompts are used for different issues)
- reading interest inventories
Prompts are provided for kids who rely too heavily on phonics and for students who don’t use context or meaning in the story to solve unknown words.
The final two pages are printable reading interest inventories for use in the classroom or with individual students. These can help to determine their feelings about reading and about themselves as a reader. These may help identify students’ reading interests and specific issues or struggles they have with reading.
NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!
This product includes a digital option (as well as the no-prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.
This product includes a 29-page PDF and Google Slides.
