The only way to get better at reading is to do it. A fluent reader can automatically and accurately decode text and read with appropriate pace and expression, thus demonstrating comprehension (Kuhn & Stahl, 2003). 3rd grade is typically the time when “learning to read” turns in to “reading to learn” so confidence and fluency become crucial. Parents can help by ensuring that their child reads every night and has access to a variety of reading material. The Monthly Reading Minutes tracker works well at this grade level.
