Super Hero Fluency Cards

We have had many questions about our "Superhero Fluency Cards" that we use in our "Book Buckets."  So we thought we would share with you! 

We have an important role as an educator to build confidence in our students when they are learning to read.  After-all, fluency is an important component of reading instruction, and it starts in Kindergarten!  

Repeated reading has proven to be one of the best strategies for developing reading fluency.  Many times, due to time constraints, educators cannot “fit in” as many fluency activities as they would like to during their day. This is where our “Superhero Fluency” Unit will help support you!

These are the "Book Buckets" that we use in our classroom.
Soon there will also be leveled reading books to read too! 

 

 

When do we use the “Superhero Fluency” Unit?  Well, first of all, we place the cards on a ring and store them in each students' book box.  Then the possibilities are endless, but here are just a few ways we have used them over the years. This unit can be utilized during...

Read To Self Time

Rest & Read Time

Quiet Time

Assessments

A classroom volunteer's visit 

These are some of the reading tools that we add into the "Book Buckets."  We like to encourage our students to point to the words when they are reading.  The students LOVE to read to the principal and the president!  Pointers make EVERYTHING more FUN!!

FE-FI-FO FLUENCY FUN!

Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently.

Children who do not read with fluency sound choppy and awkward. Those students may have difficulty with decoding skills or they may just need more practice with speed and smoothness in reading.

Here are some fluency charts that I use in my classroom.  The students will read the chart individually and together out loud during calendar time, free choice time, and any spare time we have in our school day.  I will leave one of the charts up for a day, a couple of days, or a week.  Some of the charts I use in my classroom are; letters, letter sounds, sight words, word family words, and numbers.    

Fluency is also important for motivation; children who find reading difficult tend not to want read!

To find out what a kid can do to help themselves, what parents can do to help at home, and what teachers can do to help at school...check out the resource listed below.
