Fluency

This weeks readings focused on the importance of fluency and how it is best measured and taught in the classroom. In Creating Fluent Readers, Rasinski suggests that a great way to develop fluency in the classroom is to allow the students to perform their read-aloud passages. These passages can be anything from monologues, dialogues, poetry to jokes and riddles. Teachers can do this by turning their classrooms into poetry cafés or having readers' theater festivals. This really stood out to me because I love the idea of making the process of fluency development exciting and fun for the students.
