Teaching Fluency Phrases
What it is
These pages give short phrases rather than single words, in the box, on the hill, to the shop, so the child reads words in groups instead of one at a time. Reading in phrases is what makes a sentence start to sound like speech.
When a child is ready
Begin once the child reads simple words accurately but still stops between each one.
If they struggle
Read the phrase to the child, then read it together, then let them read it alone. Keep the same phrases for several days, because smoothness comes from familiarity rather than from being hurried. If accuracy slips as the pace rises, slow back down: correct comes before quick.
