From blending to fluency
To develop fluency, the student needs to re-read the same book multiple times. Students
might initially sound out every word and re-read every sentence but, with practice,
blending will become more automatic. The fluency chart can be used to develop
automaticity of blending by providing single word blending practice.
While reading the book, the student:
• blends the sounds of each unknown word in the sentence
• identifies and reads high frequency words
• re-reads the sentence from the beginning
• discusses the meaning of the sentence

When finished, the student needs to re-read the whole book and practise reading the
same book until they can read at a steady pace with minimal sounding out.

Making connections - questions and discussion


After the student has read the book, or the relevant page, ask them one or more of the
following questions and discuss:

1. Kim and Mick were looking for things at the tip.


What do you think they were looking for?
Can you see anything at the tip that they could use?

2. What do you think the ants were doing in the tin?

3. Why do you think the ants climbed up Kim and Mick’s arms?

4. Why did Kim and Mick wash their arms at the tap?
Could they have just brushed off the ants?

5. Ants can give you a little bite. Show me how ants nip your skin.
