Abstract
The purpose of this action research is to explore the most effective strategy for children to engage in during Read to Self to increase their fluency. Fluency is the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and expression; and is an important aspect of being a successful reader. In this study, three 2nd grade classes will engage in different Read to Self strategies. One class will be doing silent reading. Another class will be reading their books aloud to themselves. A third class will be using video self-modeling, which is recording themselves reading their books out loud on Chromebooks and watching the recording at the end of Read to Self time. This study will be a mixed method study. There will be a Curriculum Based Measure (CBM) pre-test and post-test, along with field notes, which will be analyzed for patterns and themes, that will be taken during the Read to Self time in the three classrooms.
