Importance of Fluency
There are many aspects to fluency beside being able to quickly decode text. Fluency doesn’t ensure comprehension, but comprehension is difficult without fluency. If a reader is constantly stopping to decode and figure out unknown words, most likely meaning will be disrupted and the process of reading becomes long and laborious. When students make gains in reading fluency, they are able to put their energies into comprehension and are able to analyze, interpret, draw conclusions, and infer meaning from texts.

With this game, each player rolls three dice, adds to find the sum,
and then reads that spot on the board.
Students choose an expression card from the jar and then read their book, poem, etc. using that expression. Buy on TPT here.
This anchor chart focuses on a different skill each week. At the end of the week, they are taped to the edge of the dry-erase board
and the students read them at the fluency center. They roll a big dice and the
number it lands on is the number they have to read to their partner. So fun! Original source here.
Fluency passages for all year long! Buy them here from TPT.
