Growing evidence shows that reading fluency greatly influences a student's reading success. One-minute fluency measures can get quick results and are valid and reliable. This type of assessment sounds great, but I believe quick assessments can be too stressful for some students thus affecting performance. We should be less concerned about assessments and start thinking about incorporating more fluency exercises throughout the school day. This is important because students need practice in order to improve. Practice is the only method that is beneficial to both high and low achieving students. I found that Pinterest is a great site for ideas. The number of fluency activities alone are overwhelming. I have included some of my personal favorites below:

How would you incorporate fluency exercises throughout the school day?
How would you differentiate exercises for student's varying needs?
