Fluency

Fluency describes how a student becomes increasingly faster, smoother, more accurate and expressive in their reading aloud of texts that get progressively complex. As the levels increase, students will demonstrate comprehension of a text through more confident use of intonation, pausing, accuracy and pace.

Make learning visible in your classroom with this Australian Curriculum aligned 'bump it up wall' pack.

Students become aware of their next learning step and are able to refer to the posters or student achievement record to see their next move. Easy to use and caters for all year levels. This Fluency resource provides the support for the reading and viewing sub-element Understanding texts which is also available in my store.

Included in this resource:

2 colour display posters. Each poster contains three levels of fluency.  This has been done to save both wall space and paper consumption. There are total of 6 fluency levels in this progression.  Posters have relevant information for the student to obtain each level. Wording is written in terms that students will become familiar with the more they use the resource and could be pre-taught. Each checklist in the level begins with "I am learning to".

A teacher record book. All levels are set out in an easy to read table to allow teachers to mark off where students are at. Each level checklist has space for 10 student names). A corresponding page is also included with space for a further 25 students. It is intended that these will be bound in a format with checklist on the right and students on the left (I bind this version with my Understanding Texts one). All 6 levels are included. 3 different covers are included for this book: full colour, low colour and black/white version.

A student achievement record. It is intended for these pages to be printed as a booklet to allow students easy access to the skills throughout the year or during assessment times. I have included a skill checklist and a space to write how students will aim to achieve this skill. The 'achieved' column can be used to tick or date as needed. This booklet could be used during interviews, kept in portfolios for the year and passed on to the teacher for the student’s next year of schooling.
