I learned that automaticity is important for conserving cognitive energy.

I am surprised that not every person has prosody when they read in their head!

2025-10-21 22:36:39 UTC

I am surprised that not everyone has prosody when reading silently.

2025-10-21 22:36:49 UTC

I learned that practice is the key to developing automaticity.

At what age is a student expected to 'master' each level of fluency? (i.e, does automaticity come first and then prosody?)

2025-10-21 22:37:37 UTC

How do you encourage students who don't like reading to develop fluency?

2025-10-21 22:37:57 UTC

I'm surprised that some people don't have prosody. I feel like that is what makes a book great when I am reading it.

2025-10-21 22:38:49 UTC

I learned that automaticity is necessary so that more of the student's energy can be given to comprehending.

2025-10-21 22:39:01 UTC

I learned that there is a lot more to fluency that I once realized. I did not know that fluency was broken up into automaticity, accuracy and prosody.

2025-10-21 22:39:14 UTC

I was surprised that prosody was mentioned as a component of reading fluency

2025-10-21 22:39:20 UTC

I learned about Choral reading and how it builds fluency through repetition, and reduces anxiety about reading.

2025-10-21 22:39:45 UTC

I learned that fluency instruction can be implemented in the classroom in a variety of ways that can engage the students.

2025-10-21 22:39:55 UTC

I learned the importance of prosody, as it is vital in communicating meaning through words AND how we say them. This made me think about how much exposure to reading children need.

2025-10-21 22:40:04 UTC

What is the best way to help students understand how important reading is? How do you cross the roadblock of students who don't enjoy reading because they are not a fluent reader?

2025-10-21 22:40:13 UTC

part of fluency is prosody, not just the quickness and accuracy

2025-10-21 22:40:50 UTC

If someone doesn't have prosody when reading out loud or in their head does that mean that they don't speak expressively regular conversations?

2025-10-21 22:40:51 UTC

I was surprised at the number of ways that fluency can be taught in the classroom, especially the use of "real-world" materials such as plays, poems, or scripts.

2025-10-21 22:41:15 UTC

I am surprised that prosody is something that can be taught not just something you're born with

2025-10-21 22:41:26 UTC

The complexity behind teaching fluency and how having a variety of readings encourages fluency

2025-10-21 22:42:03 UTC

I was surprised to view automaticity as a multitasking problem.

2025-10-21 22:42:06 UTC

What age groups or demographics struggle the most with that jump from fluency to comprehension? Are there early signs to watch for that could be easily missed?

2025-10-21 22:42:12 UTC

how/when do we start working on prosody? it doesn't seem very applicable in the cvc level

2025-10-21 22:42:26 UTC

I am also surprised that not all people read with prosody.

2025-10-21 22:43:22 UTC

As a student who struggled with reading, how do you approach reading fluency when there are some processing issues present?

2025-10-21 22:52:23 UTC

Using visual aids to separate letter, words, can help young reader practice.

2025-10-21 22:55:57 UTC

For second language learning. what is the goal of fluency?
