Teacher tips
- • Always do a cold read first, then 2 practice reads, then a hot read. Chart the growth.
- • Model fluent reading first — children imitate what they hear.
Parent tips
- • Record your child's hot read and play it back. Hearing growth is powerful motivation.
- • Praise smoothness and expression — not just speed.
If a child is struggling
- • If WPM plateaus, drop the text level by one and rebuild confidence before pushing rate.
