1:1 Read Faster: Improve Reading Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension!

This course is best for kids who can read on 2nd grade level or above who might still be struggling with reading fluency. 
Fluency is the ability to read quickly, accurately, and with proper expression. 
Reading with fluency will help students with comprehension - understanding what they read. If your child is reading below the word per minute (WPM) numbers below, this class can help your child with increasing reading speed. 

*This class is not ideal for students who are still sounding out many words. If your child needs phonics support, we have a 1:1 class that can help: https://outschool.com/classes/private-reading-phonics-based-tutoring-for-emerging-and-struggling-readers-EOVRy1nF#usPzYxocLM

According to a widely used screener called DIBELS, these measures can detect risk for falling behind in reading.
By the end of 2nd grade students should read 94+ WPM
By the end of 3rd grade students should read 114+ WPM
By the end of 4th grade students should read 125+ WPM
By the end of 5th grade students should read 137+ WPM

WPM → Words per minute 

During the first class we will complete a Fluency Placement Test. We will be using a research-based reading intervention program.
Our weekly routine will be 
1. Choose a story
2. Take 1st read timing
3. Complete assisted reading activities
4. Complete pass activities with final timed reading
