Tiered Fluency Instruction: Supporting Diverse Learners in Grades 2-5  by Chase Young and Timothy Rasinski

Photo
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.
"For classroom teachers committed to continuing the inclusion of fluency development in their elementary school reading curriculum, this resource is a must have. Its practical approach provides multiple illustrative classroom cases, making the use of the fluency instruction and assessments provided within this new book very accessible. Get this resource; it will be well worth the investment." - Dr. D. Ray Reutzel, Dean of the College of Education at the University of Wyoming

"Classroom and resource teachers will find Tiered Fluency Instruction an extremely valuable resource, one they'll turn to again and again! … Each chapter has a wide range of fluency lessons to choose from, as well as helpful examples from lower and upper elementary classrooms. Procedures for each type of fluency instruction are clear and easy to implement. This is a must-have book for every teacher and resource specialist who works with students in grades in K to 8!" - Laura Robb, author of The Intervention Toolkit, Shell Education

"This helpful and easy-to-use resource will be valuable for classroom teachers as well as those who are charged with providing specialized instruction to students who struggle in reading." - Jerry L. Johns, Ph.D., No. IL University, Distinguished Teaching Prof. Emeritus
