Season 2, Episode 3: Fluency
<p>Jan Hasbrouck believes firmly in the 5 Fs of Fluency: "FIRST and FOREMOST and FOREVER <strong>ACCURACY </strong>is the FOUNDATION of FLUENCY" (TLC webinar, 2021). A lack of fluency can lead to a lack of motivation to read, which results in fewer words read, which results in limited comprehension. This cycle repeats until students often give up believing themselves unable to read well. </p> <p>This episode focuses on fluency, what it is, and how to help students improve. </p> <p>Resources mentioned in this episode include the following: </p> <p><a href="https://www.readingrockets.org/article/fluency-norms-chart-2017-update" target="_blank">Updated ORF scale</a></p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/9xB6i1ReuT8" target="_blank">Llama Llama Misses Mama</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/You-Read-Me-Ill-Stories/dp/0375810838" target="_blank">You Read to Me & I'll Read to You</a></p> <p>Rasinski's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Megabook-Fluency-Timothy-V-Rasinski/dp/1338257013" target="_blank">Megabook of Fluency</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Rhymes-Times-Strategies-Classroom-Resources/dp/1425814670/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2TBLMA36PBX03&keywords=rhymes+for+the+times+rasinski&qid=1670720780&s=books&sprefix=rhymes+for+the+times+ra%2Cstripbooks%2C1035&sr=1-1" target="_blank">Rhymes for the Times</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Am-Reading-Nurturing-Childrens-Engagement/dp/0325050929/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2AF9CKF0YEYFI&keywords=I+am+reading+collins+and+glover&qid=1670720878&s=books&sprefix=i+am+reading+collins+and+g%2Cstripbooks%2C1049&sr=1-1" target="_blank">I Am Reading</a> by Collins and Glover</p> <p>Lakeshore's <a href="https://www.lakeshorelearning.com/search/products?Ntt=readers%20theater" target="_blank">readers' theater script boxes</a></p> <p>The <a href="https://www.enchantedlearning.com/rt/weather/watercycle.shtml" target="_blank">water cycle readers' theate</a>r by Enchanted Learning</p> <p><a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=elephant+and+piggie&cvid=be86c8dfb30747f8b54f3507228dfa2f&aqs=edge..69i57.5424j0j4&FORM=ANAB01&PC=U531" target="_blank">Elephant & Piggie</a> books</p>
