The Fluent Reader, 2nd Edition
Description
coverage of the latest research on fluency, teaching strategies
based on that research, new classroom vignettes, and suggestions
for using a variety of texts to teach fluency such as poetry, speeches,
and monologues and dialogues. You'll also find background
information, assessment tools, step-by-step lessons, and teaching
tips-plus video clips showing the strategies in action.
If you want to ensure
that you teach reading fluency, you need to read
the work of Tim Rasinski. In a career dedicated to researching
and teaching fluency he has developed a wealth of expertise that
all teachers need to build into their practice.
As with all of Rasinski's work, this book
is written with warmth and passion and feels like a conversation
with a wise colleague.
