Reading Fluency, Are they ready?

Ask these questions before you begin working on reading fluency.

1. Can they recognize the letters of the alphabet and know the sounds of the consonants and short vowels?
2. Can they put together common 3 letter words that use short vowel sounds?
3. Do they know that words in sentences are read from left to right?
4. Are they able to read 9 out of every 10 words of the first pre-primers you are using?

What do I do if they aren’t ready?
