Fluency is the bridge between decoding and truly understanding a text. Once reading becomes fluent, students free up cognitive space for comprehension and enjoyment.
Each Fluency Fun book is a collection of 20–25 texts designed to improve fluency through rereading and performing. Students practise fluent reading using a variety of humorous and engaging text types, including:
reader’s theatre
short stories
fluency pyramids
poems, songs and tongue twisters
quizzes
nonfiction texts such as adverts, procedures, recounts and reports
comic strips.
These value packs contain 8 Fluency Fun books covering Stage 7 Review, Stage 7 Unit 5 and Stage 8. That’s over 190 varied and humorous fluency texts for partner reading and reader’s theatre, packed with colourful illustrations and photos.
Each text aligns to the Little Learners Love Literacy® Year 2 teaching sequence: Stage 7 Review (Weeks 1–10), Stage 7 Unit 5 (Weeks 1–18) and Stage 8 (Weeks 1–11).
