WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:
Fluency in reading is a critical element of any successful reading program (National Reading Panel, 2000). Despite its importance many students fail to achieve sufficiently in this area and many teachers do not feel completely competent in their knowledge and teaching of this reading component.
In this workshop, Dr. Tim Rasinski will provide theoretical and research background and definition to fluency. He will share approaches to assessing and monitoring progress in this key aspect of reading. Finally, he will share effective and engaging strategies for teaching this all-important reading component that will move students toward better comprehension and greater proficiency in reading.
Timothy Rasinski, Ph.D., is a Professor of Literacy Education and the Rebecca Tolle and Burton W. Gorman Chair in Educational Leadership at Kent State University.
