Last year my reading instructional coach came to my class to talk to my students about what it means to be a fluent reader. She brought this book to read and after the first page I was sold. I had never heard of it before but it is called "Wolf" by Becky Bloom.
It is about a wolf that goes to a farm and sees all of the animals reading. He then decides to learn to read but first he reads way too slow. Next, he reads way too fast. The last time he reads it is the perfect speed and all of the animals want him to keep reading. SO CUTE!! The kids just got it after hearing the book. They knew exactly what was meant by fluent reader. It was amazing to see the little light bulbs going off in their heads. Since then this has been by far my favorite classroom book.

This would be a great book to have in my library to use with fluency lessons. Thanks for the suggestion Heather! I am finding so many great ideas by hopping along through the Warrior posts!
