Thank you for taking the time to work with your children on their Fluency Folders. It is so important to their reading.

Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. … Because fluent readers do not have to concentrate on decoding the words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. With the ability to decode text quickly and efficiently, the reader can better recognize the words with automaticity, which allows the brain to focus more intently on the content of the text.

The Fluency Folders will come home Monday-Thursday. Please continue to practice with your child and discuss the passage with them. This will help them with the comprehension questions. Also, this is a good time to use the game we passed out at our Parent Meeting.
