Implementing books on tape is perhaps one of the most effective ways to improve a reader's fluency. For this activity, you will first need a copy of a book and a tape or CD of the book. Play the tape or CD while simultaneously reading along with it out loud. Since the person reading on tape should already possess fluency, following his speech patterns should help to improve your fluency as well.
Another activity that is fun for many people is participating in theater reading. In order to do this activity, you need a script from a play and at least one other partner to perform the dialogue with. Each person should pick her character and rehearse some scenes from the play. As you both go through the dialogue, you should try to read as smoothly as possible and be expressive. It usually helps to repeat the same scene two or three times until your fluency has improved and it flows well.
Reading poetry out loud is another way to work on fluency and improve smoothness. In order to perform this activity, you should pick one or two poems that are relatively short (no more than 200 words). To get the most out of this activity, it helps to pick a poet with plenty of alliteration in his poetry. Some examples include Shel Silverstein and Emily Dickinson. Practice reading the poems out loud and enunciate each word and syllable as clearly as possible. Start off reading slowly and gradually speed up until it sounds natural.
Working on expression is an additional technique that should increase a reader's fluency. This activity is done by first picking a short story or chapter from a book. You should practice reading the passage out loud and use expression to convey the attitude of each character and the overall mood. Act as dramatically as you can, and use the tone the character uses. Read the passage multiple times until you achieve a smooth fluency and can convey the characters' emotions.
