This resource includes 15 reading fluency passages, for students reading at a 1st Grade reading level, Levels E-J. These passages are great for quick fluency assessments and to work on improving students' fluency.

Fluency is such an important skill to work on, and assess, as it helps many literacy skills, including comprehension. The purpose of this pack is to help students develop their fluent reading skills. The goal is not to be the fastest, but in general to become more fluent readers who read smoothly, pay attention to meaning and pause when they should.
