Which order correctly describes the guided fluency practice sequence?

• A. We do, You do, I do
• B. I do, You do, We do
• C. I do, We do, You do
• D. I do, You do, We do

Answer: (B)

Gradual release of responsibility is the idea here: start with the teacher modeling the skill, then give students a chance to practice with guidance, and finally practice together to reinforce accuracy and fluency. The best sequence begins with the teacher doing the task so students can see and hear exactly how it should be done. Next, students attempt it themselves but with support and feedback from the teacher to correct mistakes and reinforce correct form. Finally, the class practices together with the teacher guiding and monitoring, which helps solidify the skill and build fluency through collaborative practice. This progression—I do, You do, We do—keeps instruction structured, ensures missteps are addressed early, and moves learners toward confident, fluent performance.
