What Is Reading Fluency and Why Is It So Important

Once you understand what the research says about improving reading fluency, you'll realize that you have the power to bridge this gap!

How to Explicitly Teach Text Phrasing

The Most Essential Component–Repeated Reading
Systematic and prescriptive repeated reading is the cornerstone of developing decoding automaticity. You'll learn exactly how to scaffold and differentiate instruction using leveled texts to maximize student achievement.
Explicit Reading Fluency Instruction Is Essential to Any Reading Program.
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.

A Personal Invitation from Melissa...
Reading fluency has been a professional passion of mine for years.
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 video series, you'll learn exactly what to do to help your students!
See you there!
