This spring themed resource includes 3rd Grade Spring reading fluency passages with comprehension questions. These spring fluency passages are great for building fluency skills while focusing on decoding and comprehension, in the season of spring. Students will complete a quick check fluency informal assessment with you to show the progress they're making on their fluency skills.

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: accuracy, natural pace, and comprehension.

What's included?

There are 12 3rd Grade Spring fluency passages included. Each passage comes with comprehension questions included on the same page for easy transferring of knowledge.

A Fluency Recording Sheet is also included for the teacher to mark up when students read one-on-one after their repeated readings of the passage. On this page students will also complete a self assessment and set fluency goals.

Also included:

• Data tracking page (individual student)
• Answer key for comprehension questions

How do you use these reading fluency passages?

1. Students will read through the passage.
2. Next, students will read through the story 2 more times, for repeated reading practice, to build their fluency skills. They will color in a circle for each reading.
3. Once the repeated readings are complete, students will write their responses to the comprehension questions.
4. Students will then bring their passage up to you for a one-on-one informal assessment. You will mark up the teacher copy of the passage, noting any errors or self corrections. You will list the overall score for the number of words read correctly on the passage. You will also list the number of comprehension questions answered correctly.
5. On that same teacher page, students will complete a self assessment, marking which aspects of fluent reading they did. They will then choose fluency goals to improve.

You can also send these fluency reading passages home for extra help. If you have students who need help with their fluent reader skills, this is a great way to get them to practice.

The goal of this pack is to help your 3rd Grade readers improve their fluency abilities and, in turn, their overall reading skills as well.

I hope you and your students love these spring fluency passages with comprehension questions!
