Research has shown that contextual reading, such as reading sentences, a passage, or even an entire book, is an integral component of instruction for any student. Using isolated phrase practice or building from the phrase-level into passages can increase automaticity and provide the structure that emergent readers need to be successful.
Let’s look at three different types of students that may benefit from phrase-level fluency instruction: Isolated phrase practice can build word recognition while comprehension is strengthened by addressing prosody and explicitly breaking context into meaningful phrases.Īdditionally, building your repertoire of phrase-level activities can help you address the fluency needs of a broad range of students. Focusing on phrases allows students to develop multiple areas of literacy, building the bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Phrase-level practice is one of the most commonly overlooked areas, while also being one of the most versatile. While timed, repeated readings are one valid method of practicing fluency when done with the appropriate supports, there is an abundance of other methods that deserve a more prominent place in daily fluency instruction.
The teacher, timer in hand, completes a running record, noting errors and words correct per minute.
When we think about reading fluency, we most often picture a student reading a passage. Building Contextual Reading Fluency Through Phrase-Level Practice
