Reading Fluency

Reading fluency is a very important part of language arts. Fluent readers have an easier time comprehending what they are reading and answering questions about the text. The overall fluency goal for the end of second grade is to be reading between 94-124 words correctly per minute. The rigor of the passages that they will read will get more and more difficult as the year progresses. Please make your child’s reading a priority!

Below is some information about expectations for the reading fluency assessment for the end of the first trimester of second grade:

Above Grade Level: 95 or more wcpm
Grade Level: 65-94 wcpm
Approaching Grade Level: 35-64 wcpm
