Fluency is a vital aspect of reading, as it bridges the gap between being able to identify or decode a word and comprehend the text.There is a misconception that fluency is simply reading quickly, and this is not an accurate assumption. Though rate is an element of fluency, it is important to note that reading proficiently does not mean reading as quickly as one can, but rather, reading with fluidity and automaticity, much like one speaks. 

Fluency is comprised of three elements:

• Rate - At the rate of speaking or conversing with automaticity.
• Accuracy - The ability to not only accurately decode words, but also to have a correct interpretation of the word within the text that leads to successful comprehension.
• Prosody - The ability to read as one speaks with expression, appropriate timing, and intonation. Prosody resembles oral speech, which is neurologically identifiable.

Developing fluency is so important because when one is able to read with automaticity, or with very little mental energy involved, this opens the door to comprehending the text successfully, which is the end goal of reading.

Some students are not responsive to the general classroom instruction, and they need additional fluency intervention. It is not enough to simply ask parents to read more to their children, or to ask the student to do more independent reading (although these activities are important), they also need to be explicitly taught how to become fluent readers, and it is for this reason we created our Developing Fluency resource.  

Developing Fluency is divided into 3 levels.  Each level aligns with the Orton Gillingham Online Academy's Suggested Order to Present Phonemes, Rules, and Patterns. *Note: On this scope and sequence, columns 1 and 2 cover the concepts traditionally taught in preschool and kindergarten. These columns are not included in this resource.

• Practitioner's Notebook Level 1 (91 pages) - Aligns with column 3  (1^st grade)
• Student Workbook Level 1 (97 pages)
• Practitioner's Notebook Level 2 (105 pages) - Aligns with column 4 (2^nd grade)
• Student Workbook Level 2 (118 pages)
• Practitioner's Notebook Level 3 (107 pages) - Aligns with column 5 (3^rd grade)
• Student Workbook Level 3 (160 pages)

Each level comes with the following:

• An informal coding assessment for benchmark data
• Fluency passages for hot and cold reads, along with progress monitoring tools, charts, and graphs
• A Student Workbook for each level that provides student passages, fluency phrases (each passage has been divided into phrases for fluency practice), a comprehension activity, and a student chart for self-monitoring progress. 

We believe the strategies embedded in this resource will scaffold students to become independent and confident readers by developing fluency and bringing meaning and understanding to text.
