August 03, 2021 8:30 AM - August 03, 2021 3:30 PM
Without fluency, the world of imagination, humor, and drama contained in the finest books is no more than a "tangle of words." Fluency is the ability to read aloud expressively and with understanding. When fluent readers read aloud, the text flows as if strung together "like pearls of a necklace", rather than sounding halting and choppy. We will be discussing and demonstrating strategies to help students make important gains in the fluency area.
