Texts for fluency practice

the long version

Coauthored and compiled by fluency expert Timothy Rasinski, this selection of engaging texts for Grades 4 8 will make reading enjoyable for students so that they will want to read, reread, and perform! Research has shown that readers who engage in regular repeated readings improve their word recognition, reading rate, comprehension, and overall reading proficiency. As students regularly read and perform these age-appropriate texts, they improve their decoding, interpretation, and ultimately comprehension of the materials.
