Partnering for Fluency

This volume, which is part of the Tools for Teaching Literacy series, provides a wealth of research-based, classroom-tested strategies for teaching reading fluency. Topics include fluency assessment, resources for fluency instruction, planning for instruction, and how to design staff development to encourage good fluency instruction. Of particular interest is the chapter entitled, "Student Partners for Fluency Development," in which the authors discuss how to effectively pair students for classroom fluency work so that they can take responsibility for their own learning and support each other's fluency development.
