Fluency Reading Feedback Checklist

Take turns reading the passage aloud. Listen for fluency skills, then give kind, useful feedback. There can be more than one good answer to the reflection questions.

The Creekside Surprise

Mason and her cousin Lachlan followed a narrow track beside the creek. They were looking for a good place to have their picnic. The afternoon sun warmed their backs, and tiny birds hopped between the reeds. “Wait,” whispered Lachlan. A soft rustling came from a clump of grass. Mason stopped. She looked carefully, but she did not want to frighten whatever was hiding there. A small duckling waddled out. It peeped once, then hurried towards the water. Mason and Lachlan watched as it joined a group of ducks near the bank. “We found our picnic spot,” Mason said quietly. They spread out their rug a little farther away. The duckling was safe, and the cousins could enjoy their lunch without disturbing it.

Listen for fluency

While your partner reads, listen for these skills. Tick every skill you noticed. Use the passage to practise giving specific feedback.

1.Which fluency skills did your partner show? Tick all that apply: read the words accurately; used a steady pace; spoke clearly; used a suitable volume; paused at punctuation; used expression to match the story.
  • Read the words accurately
  • Used a steady pace
  • Spoke clearly
  • Used a suitable volume
  • Paused at punctuation
  • Used expression to match the story
2.Choose one part your partner read especially well. Write the words or sentence, then name the skill you noticed.
3.Give your partner a GLOW: complete this sentence with one specific strength you noticed. “I liked how you…”

Give a helpful GROW

A useful suggestion is kind, clear and small enough to try next time. Choose one skill to practise rather than listing lots of faults.

4.Choose one fluency skill your partner could practise next: accuracy, steady pace, clear speech, suitable volume, punctuation pauses or expression.
  • Accuracy
  • Steady pace
  • Clear speech
  • Suitable volume
  • Punctuation pauses
  • Expression
5.Write one kind GROW suggestion. Begin: “Next time, you could try…”

Check your understanding

Show that you followed the story as well as the reading.

6.Why did Mason and Lachlan stop when they heard rustling?
7.True or false: Mason and Lachlan spread their rug close to the duckling so they could watch it while they ate.
TrueFalse
8.What does the word “waddled” tell you about the way the duckling moved?
9.Reflect on your own reading: name one fluency skill you feel confident about and one small goal for your next read-aloud.
