Fluent reading is the bridge between having to decode every single word and reading automatically with
understanding of the text and appropriate expression. Toward the end of first grade and beginning of second grade, we see many students who can read just about
anything we place in front of them. But they sound like robots! It’s our next job in the reading realm to give
them opportunities to develop fluency. This packet will help you explain fluency to parents and give you
classroom tips and strategies to promote fluent reading.
What is Fluency?
One fun way to practice fluent reading is with this "Big Voice--Little Voice" activity. You can find this mini clipboard in the scrapbooking section at Walmart. Explain to students that sometimes the things we say need a BIG voice. If we won an award, would we say “I won an award."? Or...would we say, "I WON THE AWARD!!!!!!" Likewise, we sometimes need a little voice. “ ‘I'm really scared,’ said the little boy” would need a weak, timid voice.
Attach these free printables to a regular sized clipboard and a mini clipboard and let students practice reading them with a BIG voice and a little voice.

“I’m scared,” said the girl.
The mouse sneaked out of
the hole.
Drip. Drip. Drop. The gentle rain
fell.
I tip-toed through the
house.
In the still of the night, the stars
shine.
“Let’s use our quiet voices,” said
the teacher.
I promise this won’t hurt a bit.
Is it bedtime yet?
No one made a peep.
