About this title

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 helps 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 provides over 30 ready-to-use strategies to help teachers, reading specialists, and other school professionals understand and strengthen fluency instruction for student in regular classrooms, resource rooms, and RTI programs. You'll get specific strategies targeted to six reader types so interventions can be more beneficial to small groups or individual students within RTI programs. Assessments are also included for monitoring students' progress in grades one through eight, along with common questions and answers teachers may have about fluency.

• Ready-to-use worksheets with permission to reproduce for classroom use.
• A quick reference chart to show how the strategies can be differentiated for six types of readers.
• Strategies organized for easy use with goals, materials needed, reader type, description, step-by-step procedure, and evaluation.
• Co-published with the International Reading Association.
