I have been thinking about a way to add reading fluency into my learning centers. I have students partner reading, but I sometimes mostly believe they partner up and waste time when I am with my group. I found these fluency drills on the Reading Sage Blog. The stories look engaging, and they are labeled with a lexile score.

I am thinking about pasting them into a Phrased Cue Generator. This automatically adds lines to the text to show students where they should pause or stop when reading. My thoughts are to have them read the cued passage to each other a couple of times, and then time each other reading the text without the cues.

I also want to create some sort of peer scoring sheet with questions such as , " Did my partner sound natural when reading aloud?"  Maybe 5 or so questions just to have some accountability. Any thoughts or ideas? The links to the passages and the phrased cued generator are below.

  1. I like it. Most kids don't know proper fluency and we don't have time to sit down one on one to train each of them. I think this could really work!
