Reading at an “APPROPRIATE”
level:• When readers move to levels too far above
their current grade level, the content often becomes developmentally inappropriate.
• Just right books should be based on a student’s fluency and comprehension level. They need to understand what they are reading, if not, they are simply word calling.
• We encourage readers to read a variety of books including: too easy (builds fluency), just right (on target), and challenging (stretch what you know).

What about Fluency?
• Fluency and comprehension work together
• Very slow readers with good comprehension need practice in speed and phrasing before moving to higher levels
• Developmentally appropriate expression improves through the grade levels
