At the end, your teacher will let you count the words you read and will put a dot on the line or space showing how many words you read. Your teacher will put an X in the same column to show the number of mistakes you made. Practice reading it whenever you can. Then, read it for another ONE MINUTE with your teacher! Do this 7 times or until you read 64 words perfectly in one minute! Then, begin at a different place in the book for your next REPEATED READING.

Your teacher will put an X in the same column to show the number of mistakes you made. Practice reading it whenever you can. Then, read it for another ONE MINUTE with your teacher! Do this 7 times or until you read 64 words perfectly in one minute! Then, begin at a different place in the book for your next REPEATED READING. Each time, you will find that you are getting faster and more accurate as you read! That is called FLUENCY!
