Fluency

Not a moment goes by that RtI teachers are not thinking about fluency. Number fluency, reading fluency...It is the major way we measure our students' progress. Some of my favorite activities to build fluency happen during my warm ups. Sometimes students time themselves reading sightword flashcards. They keep track of their progress on personal bar graphs. They are super excited when their progress looks like a staircase heading up, up... Not so much when it is a staircase headed down, down, down ;) Fluency powerpoints are another easy way to build up sight word fluency. My students love being first to shout out the words on the screen. Here are some great ones at all the grade levels:
