Welcome to Creating Fluent Readers! This module is the fourth of six online modules in Building a Strong Foundation for Lifelong Literacy Success, a professional learning series aimed at supporting teachers’ efforts to promote reading achievement in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

About This Course

In this module, we will focus on creating fluent readers among elementary students and struggling adolescents. First, in Introduction to Fluency, we will explore the importance of fluency as a bridge to comprehension. We will look at the components of fluency and discuss the progression of skills that students need to become fluent readers. We will look at the negative consequences for students who do not become fluent and what is needed to create motivated readers. Next, we will discuss fluency instruction, including explicit instructional strategies, evidence-based practices, guidelines for pairing students for partner reading, and what the focus of oral reading fluency instruction should be at different grade levels. Then, in Fluency Assessment, we will describe the process of screening and diagnosing fluency; determining reading fluency, accuracy levels, and prosody levels; and creating fluency-building goals for students who struggle.
