Free Fluency Exercise
Use the following exercise to help children improve their fluency and expression while reading. Often decoding the words becomes the main focus of a child learning to read, placing expression on the back-burner and fluency flies out the window. With this non-word exercise, children can easily focus on reading with expression and fluency as opposed to accuracy and comprehension.
Key:
, = pause
. = stop
! = excited
? = question
Story:
Mm mm mm, mm mm.

Mm mm?
Mm mm.
Mm mm mm, mm mm? Mm!
Mm mm mm? Mm, mm mm.
Mm?
Mm!
Mm, mm mm!
