“TAKE TIME FOR 10”

We are asking you to spend ten minutes each night listening to your child read and discussing the story or text with your child. Our goal is to increase reading fluency to promote comprehension. Reading is just like anything else you want to do well, you must practice! There are four instructional practices that can help build fluency. (Paraphrased from Rasinski, 2003) 1. Model good oral reading. ”Through intentional modeling, students develop a deeper understanding of what expressive, meaningful reading sounds like…” 2. Provide oral support for reading. “Fluency and comprehension can be improved when the student is reading and simultaneously hears another more fluent reader...” 3. Offer plenty of practice opportunities. ”Practice is required to gain proficiency in almost any skill such as riding a bicycle, making a jump shot in basketball, playing a piano concerto, or baking a cake. Practice is required for fluency as well. A key feature of fluency practice is multiple readings of the same text…” 4. Encourage fluency through phrasing. ”A fluent reader is able to chunk a text in order to make meaning more accessible…The meaning often lies in a passage’s phrases more than in the individual words…” Our goal is to increase reading fluency to promote comprehension. Working together will ensure your child’s continued growth as a successful reader!
