Unlock the Power of Reading: How Fluency Drives Understanding and Engagement
Helping students read fluently is a focus of the efforts of many teachers and specialists. And that's a good thing, because we know from the National Reading Panel Report that fluency is “a critical component of skilled reading.” Fluency standards have been included as an essential foundation skill in most state reading standards. But...do we really understand what fluency is? Do we understand how to determine which students are sufficiently fluent and which need more help? And what kind of support do our students need to become fluent? Let's revisit this topic with an emphasis on the purpose of fluent reading: comprehension and motivation!
