Fluency sub-skills shine in this Grade 1 worksheet focused on strong reading behaviors. First graders answer four multiple-choice questions that define accuracy, rate, expression, and smooth phrase reading. Five fill-in sentences ask students to name each sub-skill — accuracy for right words, rate for speed, expression for feelings, and phrasing for grouping. The sheet wraps up by showing how all fluency skills together make a truly fluent, confident reader.
