Fluency Passages by Grade level
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 mental energy sounding out (decoding) the words on the page. Their reading often times sound robotic - not fluent. As a child learns the phonetic rules and can apply them with ease 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 w.p.m. (words per minute). A good fluency rate would be between 120 and 150 w.p.m. (words per minute) in third grade.
You will need to print out 2 copies of each passage (one for your child and one for the parent). 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. Then practice, practice, practice!
