In the reading fluency program, 30 fairy tale books and four target words per book were selected with consideration for the age and interest of the children. It consists of 15 sessions in total while 2 fairy tale books per session and 1~2 sessions of 40 minutes per week were applied to the program. To measure the effectiveness of the reading fluency program, pre-post test was conducted in terms of reading, writing and comprehension.
