Repeated Reading is a reading fluency strategy in which students are given repeated opportunities to read a short passage (typically 50-200 words) as fluently as possible in under a minute. Students who need help with fluency and comprehension will benefit from this strategy. In a one-to-one setting, the student reads the read a passage at their independent level (95% accuracy or above) for a minute. The teacher marks the teacher copy for miscues and where the student stopped at one minute, and marks the charts the score. Then the teacher reviews the miscues and reads the entire passage with the student following along. Last, the student practices the text repeatedly for 3 to 4 minutes on their own using the minute timer, focusing on fluency, more than accuracy. They can come back to the teacher for the final reading check. The teacher marks the word count on the student’s WCPM progress chart.
