The Family Fluency Program

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: As part of a larger study on developing children's reading fluency in the classroom, a program was introduced to help parents understand the importance of fluency and participate in fluency‐related activities with children at home. The Family Fluency Program included activities similar to those that the children were doing in school, with some support for the initial reading of selections and then repeated reading of stories using echo reading, choral reading, and partner reading. The family program showed promise for enhancing the school program when parents implemented the activities at home.
