Improving Reading Fluidity

Many students who are having trouble reading have trouble with reading aloud. The student is using all their brain power to think about letters and the sounds they make. They are still at the point where reading means saying the words aloud. 

So to improve this so when the student reads I tell them we are creating a video about this book to share with students who are younger. I practice and let the student film me. We watch the film. We practice. We do one or two pages and watch the film and evaluate it together. Slowly the reading improves as the student should have the book almost memorized. I hope to post a sample soon. But this week I am on vacation.
