Science of Reading Aligned

Fluency is a key part of the Science of Reading because it connects word recognition to comprehension. When students can read smoothly and automatically, their attention shifts from decoding to understanding.

These poetry activities support fluency through repeated readings, rhythm, and phrasing practice, giving students multiple opportunities to hear, read, and perform familiar poems.
