What is a common outcome from engaging students in fluency exercises?

Engaging students in fluency exercises typically leads to a greater willingness to participate in reading activities. Fluency exercises often involve repeated reading, guided practice, and group activities that help students build their confidence in reading ability. As students become more fluent, they tend to experience less frustration and greater clarity in reading, which contributes to a more positive attitude towards participating in reading activities.

Increased fluency supports comprehension, allowing students to focus more on the meaning of the text rather than getting bogged down by decoding words. This newfound confidence encourages them to take part in reading discussions, group readings, and performances, making reading a more interactive and enjoyable experience. Consequently, students are likely to approach reading tasks with enthusiasm rather than anxiety, confusion, or reduced interest.
