Fluency
An important part of fluency is reading in phrases instead of word-by-word. If your child struggles in this area, one way to help him/her is to echo read. First point out places that make natural breaks to take a quick breath, like commas and just before prepositions (on, under, around, beside, behind, between etc.) Then, you read a sentence in phrases at breaks that help to give meaning to the sentence. Have your child read the sentence trying to echo you or read it exactly as you have. As your child gets better and better at this, you might ask him/her if he/she could think of another way to read the sentence, with different pauses, that give clear meaning to the sentence but emphasize a different word or phrase.
Doing this with 2-3 sentences every night can help your child become a more fluent reader.
