Turn slow readers into faster, more fluent readers with timed high-interest stories! Fluency is a key component of reading comprehension, and these ready-to-use activities provide plenty of practice in both speed and comprehension. From sharks to bikes, the 14 short high-interest stories will capture students’ attention while they race the clock to improve their reading speed.

Each story has a place to record the time and words read, and helpful charts are included for computing words read per minute and recording student progress<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
