About This Video
Fluency is reading known words with speed and accuracy, so that working memory is free to focus on meaning. Children start with single words in the Practice Books and then read whole sentences fluently in the Decodable Stories.
The video also links fluency to the ACARA National Literacy Learning Progressions, so you can see where your students sit and what comes next.
