Smith, a veteran teacher, to help teachers effectively weave
fluency work into their daily reading instruction.

scale, and high quality ready-to-use lessons including text phrasing
and tonality, echo reading, word ladders, and more!
Given the importance of fluency- and its pivotal relationship
to comprehension and word recognition - the potential is high for
improving students' overall reading achievement, and their performance

of The Megabook of Fluency. For schools looking
to teach fluency rather than purely assess it, this is the must-have
text." Rachel Clarke, Independent Reading
