Fluency in Perspective: Grade 7

This is a collection of passages designed to be used for fluency instruction in grade 7. Developed by Lisa Rogers, Laura Bross, Ayesatta Conteh, Marissa Griese, Teresa Oud, and Catherine Shawana, each passage focuses on a topic associated with a curriculum expectation across content areas.

Content was carefully considered to ensure that it shares perspectives that have been underrepresented, it sparks students to think critically, and it reflects some of the history, values and experiences of diverse individuals who live, or have lived, in the place we now call Canada.

The passages are purposefully written to flexibly support a variety of different instructional routines (Quick Fluency Routine, repeated reading, partner reading/paragraph shrinking). Each passage has a teacher summary page with sections that support multisyllabic decoding, vocabulary, morphology, and syntax instruction.
