Reading Fluency Mini Unit: Poetry & Narrative – Place & Connection | Stage 2 | Years 3–4

This resource is part of the Hello Primary Fluency Mini Unit series and is designed to support literary texts exploring imagery, symbol, connotation, place and connection. It works well alongside Our Dreaming by Kirli Saunders and other poetry and narrative texts, giving you a consistent fluency routine while reinforcing literary concepts.

This 5-week fluency mini unit combines explicit fluency instruction with literary prose, descriptive narrative and poetry, so students see how writers create meaning through imagery, figurative language and symbolism. Students build accuracy, phrasing, expression, punctuation and automaticity through repeated reading, goal setting and reflection, with Tier 2 vocabulary they can carry into their own poetry and narrative writing.

Designed for busy teachers, this ready-to-use resource gives you everything you need to run a structured fluency routine in your classroom.
