Phrase-cued Reading: In this video, the teacher demonstrates phrased-cued reading through the introduction of a phrase-cued text. The text is divided into natural pauses that occur in and between sentences. The phrase pauses help students improve their reading prosody. This and other strategies that support fluency can be found in the November section of the MDE Literacy Focus of the Month Manual. - Fluency (Reading Rockets)

A series of fifteen videos discussing fluency as the ability to read a text accurately, quickly, and with expression. Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. They group words quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read. Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression. Their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking. Readers who have not yet developed fluency read slowly, word by word. Their oral reading is choppy. - Alternative Passage Reading Procedures: Dr. Anita Archer
