Fluency
Personalized Reading Fluency Tutoring for Children in Canada
Reading fluency is more than just recognizing words. It’s about reading smoothly, accurately, and with the right expression. At The Literacy Corner, our personalized reading fluency programs help children develop these essential skills, transforming reading from a task into an enjoyable and meaningful experience. Our expert tutors use targeted, evidence-based strategies to support students at every stage of their reading journey.
Why Reading Fluency Matters
Fluency bridges the gap between decoding words and truly understanding what’s on the page. When children read fluently, they recognize words automatically, read at a natural pace, and use appropriate phrasing and intonation. This frees up mental energy to focus on comprehension and enjoyment.
Without fluency, reading can feel slow, choppy, and frustrating—making it hard for young learners to stay engaged or grasp the meaning of texts. Improving fluency boosts confidence and lays the groundwork for academic success across subjects.
Specialized Fluency Support for Kids with Dyslexia and Other Learning Differences
We understand that children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences face unique challenges when developing fluency. Our tutors use a blend of Orton-Gillingham, Science of Reading principles, and multisensory techniques to create personalized lessons that build speed, accuracy, and expression.
Our approach includes proven strategies like repeated reading and prosody training—activities such as choral reading that help children read with natural tone and rhythm. We make each session engaging with fun exercises, timed readings, and interactive games designed to boost confidence and foster a love of reading.
Our Approach to Building Reading Fluency
Our fluency tutoring combines personalized instruction with multisensory techniques to develop three core fluency components:
-
Accuracy: Helping students read words correctly through practice and reinforcement.
-
Rate: Increasing reading speed without losing understanding.
-
Prosody: Teaching expression, phrasing, and rhythm to make reading sound natural.
We use a variety of proven methods, including repeated oral reading, reader’s theater, and guided practice, to engage learners and build fluency skills in a supportive setting.
