Need help ordering the right number of fluency passages?
We recommend ordering fluency passages based on students’ anticipated fluency levels. Students will only use one fluency level for every unit. They do not need all four levels. The total number of fluency passages you order for each unit (all four levels combined) should equal your total number of students, plus a couple extras for each level. Bear in mind that teachers may make additional copies if they run short of a particular level.
Fluency passages are written at four different challenge levels so that each student receives fluency passages at their appropriate level. Below, see our recommendations for estimated numbers. This assumes most students make progress throughout the year. However, this may be different depending on your specific student population.
