Watch this video to find out whether your 1st grader is reading smoothly. From GreatSchools, a nonprofit organization that helps millions of parents get a great education for their children.
Students who struggle with fluency may read slowly, in a monotone, ignoring punctuation, or in choppy start-and-stop rhythms. Support these students with tools that allow for repeated readings and performance, and model expressive reading with audiobooks, e-books, and your own live readings.
