Objective ... read both regular and irregular
words automatically such as through multiple
opportunities to read and reread
Listen as your teacher reads part of a story
aloud to you. Discuss the story and talk about
what you liked best about it. Then read the
story as fast as you can for one minute, making
as few mistakes as possible. Your teacher will
stop you after ONE MINUTE. At the end, your
teacher will let you count the words you read and
will put a dot on the line or space showing how
many words you read. Your teacher will put an X
in the same column to show the number of mistakes
you made. Practice reading it whenever you can.
Then, read it for another ONE MINUTE with your
teacher! Do this 7 times or until you read 64
words perfectly in one minute! Then, begin at a
different place in the book for your next
REPEATED READING. Each time, you will find that
you are getting faster and more accurate as you
read! That is called FLUENCY!
