Reading Fast? or Reading Well? Let's Take Another Look at Reading Fluency
The U. S. National Reading Panel report identified fluency as “a critical component of skilled reading…often neglected in classroom instruction.” Educators everywhere took note, and as a result reading fluency is now a BIG part of teaching and assessing--but it is widely misunderstood. This session, presented by an internationally recognised expert on fluency, provides an updated and functional definition of reading fluency. The workshop also clarifies the role of curriculum-based measures of oral reading fluency (ORF), often used to screen students and monitor their overall progress in reading: What do these measures really tell us and how should they be used appropriately? The updated compiled ORF norms will be discussed. Research-supported fluency instruction strategies will also be addressed. This session provides an opportunity to reflect on how fluency supports comprehension and how it should fit into a comprehensive and effective reading program for all students.Location
