This follow-up fluency session is your step-by-step guide to fluency instruction. In a short and sweet 7 minutes, I give you the nuts and bolts of Tim Rasinski and Chase Young's approach to small group fluency instruction. Their webinars are awesome and available on demand at https://www.literacyworldwide.org/meetings-events/ila-digital-events/ila-webinars. I'm having great results with small group fluency instruction, I hope you do too.
Read Like Us Step by Step Plan
- Teacher chooses a brief, challenging, and awesome text
- Teacher reads the entire text aloud with appropriate expression while the students listen and follow along.
- Group rereads the text using echo reading (i.e. the teacher reads a sentence or paragraph aloud and the group reads it back, which continues through the text)
- The group chorally rereads the entire text
- Students partner within the group to duet read the text 6. The group performs the practiced text to the teacher or other adult at school
