Six-minute Solution Series

The Six-Minute Solution is a simple, hassle-free program that builds students’ reading fluency in just six minutes a day. With this program, teachers in any subject area first assess students’ current instructional reading levels and then place them in fluency pairs. In these pairs, one student reads the passage or fluency-building sheet to his or her partner for one minute, while the partner tracks the words read correctly or incorrectly. The partners then switch roles. Students chart their own progress, which increases motivation.
