Build fluency through repeated reading of the same text — without anyone noticing that's what's happening.

Nothing needed — works with any book, anywhere.
How to do it
Pick a sentence from a book — or just the page you're on. Read it once together in a robot voice: flat, staccato, mechanical. Then again as a pirate: gruff, dramatic, a bit "arrr". Then one more time as a mouse: tiny, squeaky, barely audible.
The words are the same each time. That's the secret. By the third read, your child has said the sentence three times without it feeling like practice at all.
You can let them choose the voices after a while — the weirder, the better. It keeps sessions from feeling like a grind on days when reading feels harder than usual.
