Next steps: Use best practices for teaching fluency- same strategies used with ELLs benefit all students (i.e. focus on vocabulary & context)

Expanding our definition of fluency by thinking beyond rate and accuracy to include comprehension of the text (p. 286)

Next Steps: Emphasizing the connection between accuracy/rate and comprehension with my students

# data[].attributes.body

Next Steps:
I am going to question my site's use of a list of words for our fluency assessment.
