What are Fluency Aims?

Fluency aims are performance targets that indicate when a learner has achieved fluent responding—the combination of accuracy plus speed that predicts retention and application.

In Precision Teaching, aims are expressed as count per minute rather than percentages, because speed reveals learning that accuracy alone cannot show.

Why Aims Matter

  • Provide clear, measurable goals
  • Predict retention and application
  • Indicate readiness to move on
  • Motivate continued practice

Individual Variation

These aims are guidelines based on Precision Teaching literature. Individual factors like motor skills, prior knowledge, and content complexity affect appropriate aims. Use these as starting points and adjust based on your data.
