How can I help my child read fluently? Model fluent reading be sure to read with expression pausing appropriately at punctuation marks and changing your voice for characters. Teach your child high frequency sight words. High frequency sight words are words that readers are encouraged to recognize without having to sound them out (often the words cannot be phonetically sounded out). Practice on flashcards, go on word hunts in books, magazines and newspapers, play concentration/memory games with the words. It is estimated that the first 100 sight words account for approximately 50% of what we read. Examples are the, he, said, when etc. When having your child read aloud, choose books at your childs independent reading level. Use the 5-finger rule: If a child struggles with more than 5 words on a given page, the text is not an independent reading level. Repeated reading re-read, re-read, re-read. Make it fun with voices, taking turns on lines or pages, and having many family members participate. Reading a text 4 times is a good guide for practicing fluency. Use RAZ Kids all our students have an account. The RAZ-Kids program is set up to encourage repeated reading and there is a component where students can record themselves reading aloud to check fluency. Ask your teacher or Mrs. Burden (Literacy Specialist) for more ideas, lists of high frequency words or book recommendations for fluency.
