A Good Friend

"You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last
page and feel a little as if
you have lost a friend."

Foster Fluency for Kids


Oral reading fluency
is the ability to read
with accuracy, and with
the appropriate rate, 
expression, and phrasing 

It's important because fluency
provides a "bridge" between word
recognition and comprehension.

and encourage the reader!
