Connecticut Foundations of Reading Test (FORT) Practice 2025 - Free FORT Practice Questions and Study Guide

Developing reading fluency involves strategies that improve a reader's speed, accuracy, and expression while reading. Repeated readings allow students to practice the same text multiple times, enhancing their familiarity and comfort with the text, which builds fluency. Shared readings involve a teacher reading alongside students, providing a model of fluent reading and opportunities for students to participate at their level. Readers theater engages students in performing a script, which not only increases their reading practice but also encourages expressive reading and comprehension as they interpret characters.

In contrast, watching videos, while it can be an engaging activity and beneficial for exposure to language and storytelling, does not directly engage students in the active practice of reading. Therefore, it does not contribute to the development of reading fluency in the same way the other options do.
