| 1 | Introduction to Fluency | 5 mins | Briefly explain what fluency is and why it's important. Discuss speed, accuracy, and expression in reading and speaking. |
| 2 | Group Reading Exercise | 10 mins | Divide students into pairs and provide them with a short text. Have them read it aloud to each other, focusing on fluency. Circulate to assist. |
| 3 | Fluency Practice Worksheets | 5 mins | Distribute fluency worksheets that include tongue twisters and sentences to practice rhythm and intonation. Students work individually. |
| 4 | Peer Feedback | 5 mins | Have students give each other constructive feedback on their reading fluency based on the worksheet practice. |
| 5 | Quick Recap and Homework | 5 mins | Recap the main points about fluency. Assign a short reading passage for homework where they will practice fluency. Explain that they should record themselves and listen to improve. |
Students are to read a selected passage at home, record themselves reading it aloud, and listen to improve their fluency. They should bring their reflections on their experience to the next lesson.
Students will be assessed on progress in fluency through observations during class activities and the content of their homework recordings. No presentations will be required.
Encourage a supportive environment during the reading activities so that students feel comfortable practicing out loud. Adjust pairings as necessary to ensure students support each other in their learning.
