Can small group instruction improve the fluency of my first
grade students?
According to research found in the
article, The Role of the Teacher in
Effective Fluency Instruction, fluency is a key component of effective
literacy instruction. Fluency is the
ability to decode and comprehend text at the same time. This research is what led me to implement an
action research project in my classroom.
This project involved first grade students who were not yet fluent
readers. I found this project to be
extremely important after reading, Fluency
Beyond the Primary Grades, which states that students who don’t read, don’t
get better at reading and students who are not good at reading, don’t
read. I really want all my students to
enjoy reading and be successful at it.
Therefore, I set out to support my first graders in becoming fluent in
their reading before the year was complete.
I found this small group instruction to be extremely beneficial to my
students and I look forward to beginning it sooner next school year.
