- assessing fluency and monitoring student progress: fluency is the ability to read at an appropriate rate, accurately, and with expression

- RTI and fluency: oral reading fluency is used to monitor students’ progress in reading, fluent readers automatically process information at the visual and phonological level

- Reading aloud: positive reading role model, furnishes new information, develops vocabulary, repeated reading- rereading short, meaningful passages several time, choral repeated reading- designed for students who can comprehend material that is read to them, peer-supported reading: involves matching higher readers with less able readers to practice, reading performance:  readers’ theater, students perform a play or book adapted to script form by reading it aloud 

- reading comprehension is the process of constructing meaning by integrating the information provided by an author, textually explicit, textually implicit, scriptually implicit

- brainstorming, prereading plan, text preview, know-want-learn, student question generation, question-answer relationships strategy, self-question strategies questioning the author, story mapping, paraphrasing strategy, summarizing strategy 

- Teaching a combination of reading comprehension techniques is most effective, Comprehension monitoring, Cooperative learning, Graphic organizers, Self-questioning, Story structure analysis, Summarizing

- Reciprocal teaching: A form of dialogue in which teacher and students take turns leading discussion about shared reading text. Four learning strategies are used: summarizing, asking questions, clarifying, and predicting.

- The 4 strategies used in CSR should be explicitly taught. Preview, click and clunk, get the gist, wrap up

- Some students have developed accurate word decoding/pronunciation skills but read slowly. Decoding is not automatic or fluent; limited fluency may affect performance

- Strategies: Repeated Reading (& repeated readings?), Taped readings, Partner reading: CWPT

- Repeated Reading: A student rereads a passage several times (3-4) until meeting a criterion level. Word accuracy and reading speed are reported to student after each reading
