  Case: Fluency will not improve
You teach second grade. Students are expected to read 100 words per minute by the end of the school year. You have one student who only reads 65 words per minute. She passes all comprehension measure and her reading is fluid even though it is slow. You have tried a few interventions but her fluency number will not improve. What do you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One of the best possible solutions for upping reading fluency is through modeling. You could pair her up with a higher level learner as a peer tutor, and they can take turns reading to each other. You can ask her to stay after school, and you can model how to read with the appropriate pacing. You can take turns reading the same passage, where you read a page and she reads the same page as she matches your fluency. If you have stations set up in your room, you might want to find audio books for her to listen to as she reads along. The good news is that she does not lack in comprehension-- she may just need more modeling and more practice.
