Fluency is definitely more than speed! If you’re looking for a simple self-assessment tool to help students track their reading fluency progress and set goals, we hope you find this one helpful. In our Fluency Self-Assessment Tool, we prompt students to think about the components of fluent reading so they can reflect on what they’re doing well already and how they can stretch themselves. This ready-to-use tool can help students take ownership of their fluency growth across practice sessions, mapping their progress as they go.
