Creating Fluent Readers

"Reading fluency has three important dimensions that build a bridge to comprehension."

-Accuracy in word decoding (refers to phonics)

-automatic processing--"Readers need to expend as little mental effort as possible in the decoding aspect of reading so that they can use their finite cognitive resources for meaning making."

-prosodic reading---basically phrasing (reading with expression and punctuation---without it, it is unlikely they will understand the text.)

**key to developing automaticity and prosodic reading is assisted and repeated reading and coaching.---"Students need to hear what fluent reading sounds like and how fluent readers interpret text with their voices."

"Developing fluency in reading requires practice."

**Students responded best to interventions that involved repeated reading in the form of rehearsal followed by performance, such as choral poetry reading and reader's theater. Students demonstrated engagement in the activities while becoming more realistic in self-evaluation

Developing Fluent Readers

sberardo — 2014-05-08 01:24:34 UTC

"Research over the past two decades has identified repeated reading as the key strategy for improving students' fluency skills (NICHD, 2000). Repeated reading has two essential elements: 1) Giving students the opportunity to read and then re-read the same text, and 2) having students practice their reading orally with an opportunity to receive corrections and guidance (if necessary)."

Teachers need to take on a coaching role as students read orally during fluency instruction. They need to listen to students read and give formative feedback to their reading. Teachers can note particular areas of concern in students reading, give praise for strong efforts, and direct students to read in a particular manner (e.g., read this passage with enthusiasm, with sadness, with boredom, etc.). This sort of coaching helps direct students' attention to areas that will allow them to develop their fluency and use it to increase text comprehension.
