Little Wandle Fluency

Why do we teach fluency? 

We want all children to have the secure phonic knowledge needed to be able to read. But being a fluent reader is so much more. We need to make teaching reading our priority so that every child can unlock all aspects of reading. When we teach reading fluency, we do just that. As Maryanne Wolf (2008) says: ‘Reading fluency involves every process and subskill involved in reading … It is influenced by the development of rapid rates of processing in all the components of reading.’ Little Wandle Fluency teaches all aspects of reading using vibrant, diverse and engaging chapter books created by contemporary authors and illustrators. Each book has been carefully devised to support children as they progress in reading fluency through Years 2, 3 and beyond; making sure every child can become a confident, fluent and motivated reader. 

Who is Little Wandle Fluency for?

Little Wandle Fluency is for children who have completed Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised programme and are secure at reading the final level of books. Children are assessed in school and placed at an appropriate book level to match their reading speed.
