THE READING DR.

Reading fluency games for elementary readers

Slow, word-by-word reading is usually a symptom, not the problem itself — the Check-Up finds whether the real gap is decoding, sight words, or practice volume.

What your child will practice

  • Reading in phrases instead of word by word
  • Paying attention to punctuation — stopping at periods, pausing at commas
  • Reading with expression that matches the meaning

Games that build this skill

Free to try, no login required.

One tip that helps at home

Re-reading a favorite short passage three times builds fluency faster than reading three new passages once.

Not sure this is the right gap?

The free Reading Check-Up finds exactly which skills your child is missing — and builds a plan that starts with the one that matters most.
