Class Experience

US Grade 3
In this ongoing class, we will practice reading fluency using second and third-grade fiction and nonfiction passages. We will use different strategies such as model, group, echo, and reciprocal reading to increase fluency. 

This class is the perfect "next step" for learners who have already taken our other reading classes, especially the Reading Fluency: Fun Timed Reading Challenges With 1st and 2nd Grade Passages and Second Grade Comprehension! If you are new to our classes, we will be reading 3rd-grade level passages, so this class would be a good fit for advanced second-grade readers, on-grade-level third-grade readers, or fourth-grade readers who need a little remediation. 

We will have timed reading challenges that learners love using a first read (cold read) and a second read (hot read) but don't worry, the focus isn't to beat each other, but to beat their own first reading! In this class, we will be counting how many words we read in 1 or 2 minutes (depending on the passage). Our goal is to try to read more words on the second read! 

Passages will be uploaded to the classroom each week the day before class. We recommend printing these fluency passages so students can continue their reading practice throughout the week from class to class.  

*We have written permission to use these passages in our Outschool classes. 

Because this is an ongoing class, students are free to jump in at any point and they will not be behind:)

As teachers who bring decades of experience teaching children to read, part of our training has been employing researched-base methods that we will use in this class. We have personally seen numerous occasions where these methods have improved fluency in resistant readers. One can look at our First and Second Grade Fluency class here on Outschool to see reviews. This is the same class, but with third grade text.
