Sign Language Fluency Passage (from Sound Science Fluency Bundle)

Get double the bang for your buck by integrating science into the reading class. Students learn about the science of sound, while doing timed fluency, or answering the comprehension questions. I use these passages in my special education resource room to meet IEP fluency goals with high interest science topics.

Please see the preview for highlights from the bundle and ways to incorporate multisensory instruction with fluency.

This passage includes

· Full color version for phrasing

· Print friendly

· Comprehension page

· Answer page

· Helper Hint page – how parents can use it at home and differentiate to support struggling readers and challenge high readers

· Graphs for students to show their growth.

Each passage encourages growth by:

· using content vocabulary with a definition in the text

· breaking the text into manageable pieces for lower readers

· adding a simple picture to make it more accessible

· integrating review of learned topics into fluency lessons

· comprehension questions ranging from ‘right there’ to higher order questions

· parent/adult support

· 130-190 words per passage

Ways I’ve used them:

1. Fluency pairs – partners practice together

2. Centers – laminate and use dry erase markers

3. Homework – 4 parts for 4 days

4. Close read (without a timer) – using colors suggested to annotate

5. Resource classroom – see the preview for multisensory ways to use these passages for teaching, and as a resource for progress monitoring

TpT Bundle Please note – if you buy the BUNDLE, TpT will put all of these into a zip file for you, so each passage will have 8+ pages (the 5 pages listed above, graphs, classroom management hints, helpful tips, and advertisements for other fluency sets).
