Fluency & Comprehension Packs

Why Use Fluency & Comprehension Packs

Typically, students go through specific stages of development as they progress from nonreaders to fluent readers. Developmentally appropriate materials are critical at every stage of learning to ensure reading success.

In leveled reading, books are written to various levels of difficulty, gradually introducing readers to new challenges. The goal is to challenge students, without causing frustration, by giving them developmentally appropriate materials to read – materials they can read with 80 to 94 percent accuracy.
