Description
Rereading Fluency is an important and timely book…. The authors do not just criticize current policies and practices but offer alternatives for improving the quality of reading assessment and instruction. - Richard L. Allington Has your school spent tens of thousands or more dollars on fluency-based reading assessment programs? If so, you might be getting less for your investment than you think. Did you know?
- There is little consensus on what exactly fluency is.
- The NRP's report - the basis for Reading First - failed to support its assertion that “it is generally acknowledged that fluency is a critical component of skilled reading.”
- The relationship between fluency and comprehension may be vastly overstated by the conventional wisdom?
- Faster, more accurate readers aren't always better comprehenders.
- Decoding rates are highly variable among readers with similar comprehension levels.
- Commercial, phonics-based programs do not result in better decoding, faster and more accurate reading, or better comprehension.
- Performance on fluency assessments says little if anything about students' ability to read and understand literature.
