Oral Reading Fluency Practice

Call 5355 (KELL) to practice reading out loud for 5-15 minutes with a Bellingham public school teacher (Kelly Brandon)

Thursdays 12:30-1:30pm

Sundays 6-7pm

What to read:

• Something you’ve written 

• A library book or a book you’d like to practice with 

• A short passage from the UFLI program:

kindergarten

1st grade

2nd grade 

• A short book from Textproject.org:

https://textproject.org/free-texts

• Poems

https://poets.org/poems-kids

If you’d like to practice reading English fluently, you may re-read the same text several times using a checklist like this:

1. I read every word

2. I knew what every word meant

3. I could tell you what the text is about in my own words

4. I read at a speed that sounded like I was telling a story to a friend

5. I knew when to pause, stop, sound excited, ask a question, and change my tone or volume when I saw punctuation
