Building Fluency in Third Grade!

My Project

These folders, colored paper, and sheet protectors will be used to create fluency folders that will be filled with passages and word lists to help students grow their reading fluency. By having the materials to put together these folders I can make them specific for each one of our students' reading needs! The parents and/or guardians will have a tracker sheet for each passage as well as reading supports page for home. Also, students can use their folders to help support them in their daily reading. The goal is for students to become fluent, on-level readers.
