Strategies for Increasing Fluency
Developing uency, or automaticity, is important at all layers of
text: sound-symbol, word, phrase and passage. However, we
often don't recognize a lack of uency until students read
connected text while being timed. This workshop will equip
educators with tools to increase uency at all stages of reading
instruction.
WORKSHOP OUTCOMES (HIGHLIGHTS):

and spelling principles.
Determine which students need a uency-oriented approach
to instruction using screening, diagnostic, and progress-
monitoring assessments.
Match students with appropriate texts.
Design lesson plans that incorporate uency-building activities
into instruction at sub-word and word levels.
Design lesson plans with a variety of techniques to build reading
uency.
Identify student interests and needs to motivate independent
reading.
Make appropriate recommendations for use of assistive
