We must have FLUENT Readers!
K: Word Families & Sight Words; The more sight words
the students know, the more fluent they become!

2nd-5th: Fluent Lesson Plan Jan Richardson FLUENCY

Students must be fluent readers in order to attain

these levels.

● Fluency Center : FCRR, Reading A-Z

● Progress Monitor Dorf Fluency in addition to TRC
We must have Readers that WRITE!

K: Level E (EOY Goal) does not have a written comprehension component but
Level F does ! Therefore, we should still practice written comprehension during
guided reading groups.

1-5th: ALL desired EOY levels contain written comprehension

Students must be able to write a response using the text in order to be

successful.

● Practice mClass stems using leveled readers

● Allow students to “grade” their own responses.
○ Re-read the question. Can I find an answer in my writing for EACH
part of the question?
