Fluency is an important part of comprehension, but how can teachers make sure they're providing the support that all readers need? Tiered Fluency Instruction: Supporting Learners in Grades 2-5 will help teachers meet this challenge. This resource will provide fluency support for all students, including disfluent readers. Chapters are included on RTI Tiers, assessment and ways to integrate technology.

Order your books, read them, and book the "Tiered Fluency Instruction" professional development. 


"Our day was very successful. We had him come on the half day staff development. In the morning, he presented a week's worth of readers theater in 2 hours in a second grade class. As he worked with the kids and did the performance, I videoed the process. Afterward, he edited the film in order to present it to the faculty in the afternoon. We opened lunch to anyone who wanted to join us and then we had our 1/2 day staff development. The teachers loved him and found him to be so motivating. He has a wonderful sense of humor, too." 

- Missy Allen, Eagle Mountain ISD
