As many teachers search for new strategies and interventions to address the lack of fluency within their reading programs, Repeated Reading (RR) appears to be a topic of curiosity.

Leah’s reading is fluent, but that suffers when she is trying to decode certain words or tries to read too fast to finish the page. As a result, she overlooks the first letter of words and thus changes the meaning of some sentences. For instance, she will read “he” instead of “the” or “round” instead of “around”; I then ask her to re-read the sentence at a slower pace and she points to every word and reads them correctly.…

The class is reading “Woods Runner” by Gary Paulsen. The majority of the time, the teacher will read aloud to the students as they follow along in their own books at their desks. Jim Trelease says, “Reading aloud to children helps them develop and improve literacy skills -- reading, writing, speaking, and listening. And since children listen on a higher level than they read, listening to other readers stimulates growth and understanding of vocabulary and language patterns” (Trelease, 2013).…
Students in elementary school begin to advance in reading by first learning to read and later improve reading to learn. It’s critical that all students become strategic learners in the world. Students who recognize which strategies to use and when to use them to comprehend text are strategic learners. A few students use the strategies naturally while most students struggle to read the text with understanding. There is a desperate need for teachers to teach comprehension strategies to guide their students with learning to read and understand.…

Another way she lets the children learn is playing games and using student–student problem solving. As a teacher you just have to keep trying to help kids understand topics in their own learning style so…
