Learn exactly what you need to do to set your students up for success in reading. [Even if you're teaching remotely!]
If you have students who painfully labor through text, they most likely also struggle with reading comprehension. In fact, reading fluency is often referred to as the bridge to reading comprehension. You have the power to bridge this gap!
Students who struggle with reading fluency won't be as successful at the complex reading tasks required of them academically and in the "real world." It's easy to incorporate reading fluency instruction into your literacy program, and the benefits can be profound.
Reading fluency is not just about speed or reading in one-minute bursts. There is so much more to reading fluency than stopwatches and Words Correct Per Minute! We will discuss the essential components of comprehensive reading fluency instruction to ensure that you are focused on what really matters.
Not sure where to begin? I've got you covered! I will be sharing research-based strategies and materials that you can immediately begin using with your students. By the end of our time together, you will feel empowered and ready to take action.
BONUS: All attendees who stay until the end of the master class will receive a FREE Reading Fluency Launch Kit and a 1-hour professional development certificate of completion!
You can plan the perfect Guided Reading and Close Reading lessons, but if your students struggle with reading fluency, your efforts will be minimally effective. We can't expect students to interact with text in deep and meaningful ways if they are exerting most of their mental energy on decoding.
Don't you just love it when you can take action immediately after a professional development session? All attendees of this master class will receive this massive Reading Fluency Launch Kit. This resource includes everything you need to begin improving your students' reading fluency.
As a reading specialist, I witnessed a strong correlation between reading fluency and reading comprehension. Many of my students labored through texts and thus were unable to understand what they read. I struggled to find a comprehensive program that allowed me to laser in on the various needs of my students. After years of research and trial and error, I can't wait to share with you what really works in the instructional world of reading fluency.
The research is clear—readers who struggle with fluency need targeted interventions. In this master class, you'll learn exactly what to do to help your students!
See you there!
