2. TIPS FOR PARTNERS When students are paired – Partner #1 is always the stronger reader. Partner #1 always reads first. Partner #2 follows. Allows for stronger reader to “carry” and “model” for the other partner.

3. COACHING Teach students how to coach each other. Use a coaching script to model– “You read … words per minute” “You had... errors.” “ The words you missed were -----, -----, & ---” “Say them with me …., …., ….” Offer a compliment about how partner read. Switch rolls.

4. Monitor Students: Teach students what fluency is. Model what fluent reading sounds like. Each day listen in on partners when they are reading. Target students you are concerned about. Choose students at random to read their passage to the class. On Fridays when the students are writing – have several students read that week’s passage to you and you score them. Formally assess fluency 3 times per year. Fall – Winter - Spring
