Synopsis

• Are you trying to help your students become more fluent readers?
• Are you doing progress monitoring?
• Do you think that differentiating fluency interventions can help you respond to individual differences among your students?

Help is on the way. This easy to use resource is written with teachers in mind. The goal is to help readers include fluency strategies in their instructional repertoire without adding hours of preparation time. Fluency is for classroom teachers, prospective teachers, reading/literacy specialists and coaches, and other professionals involved in schools and educational agencies. This compact, focused book discusses and describes fluency, offers many strategies to strengthen fluency instruction for students in regular classrooms as well as in resource rooms, and provides some ways to help monitor students’ progress. Response to Intervention (RTI), part of the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), is intended to ensure that all students receive excellent classroom instruction. For those students who struggle, targeted interventions and progress monitoring are used to help assess growth (RTI, 2009).

The new edition of this compact, focused book is split into two parts. Part One presents a series of questions and answers that explore the concept of fluency in depth. Part Two offers a wide range of evidence-based strategies, practical activities, and resources to develop students’ fluency at various grade levels.

• Ready-to-use reproducibles with permission to use them for instruction and record keeping.
• Evidence-based strategies organized in six different areas of classroom practice: building blocks, shared reading, assisted reading, performance reading, independent reading, and integrated strategies.
• Answer key for the Anticipation Guide and rubrics with class records to support tracking student progress over time
