Reading Fluency

Fluency is the bridge to comprehension.

  • Lyrics2Learn’s multisensory approach integrates the research-based fluency strategies of repeated, choral, and assisted reading into every lesson.
  • Lyrics2Learn facilitates the consistent, repeated exposure to a wide variety of texts needed for fluency improvement and increased development of background knowledge.
  • By reading repeatedly, kids familiarize themselves with text, spending less cognitive resources on decoding. This allows more effective focus on the meaning of text.
  • Reading along to music, rhythm and rhyme, makes repetition fun, engaging, and increases retention.

  • By incorporating music, rhythm and rhyme with repeated reading, students drastically increase retention and background knowledge.
  • Lyrics2Learn questioning levels align with the Common Core Depth of Knowledge (D.O.K.) levels.
