Tight10 Lesson Plan

The Tight10 is a research-based, structured fluency and comprehension routine. The routine is designed for use across core content areas to develop and accelerate strong reading skills in just 10 minutes a day, 3 days per week. It is flexible enough to be used as a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 literacy resource and is ideal for any subject where reading is required. 

The Tight10 is a reading fluency routine that focuses on the reading of a content-rich and important grade-level text passage. Each Tight10 routine follows the same structure: 

• Step 1: Teacher provides a model read of the selected passage. 
• Step 2: Students engage in a repeated reading routine (echo, choral, or partner read). 
• Step 3: Students engage in a comprehension activity.

This lesson plan provides guidance for planning to use the Tight10, a lesson template, and an example lesson.
