Fast Track to Fluency: Volunteers Promoting Oral Reading Fluency in Struggling Readers
Atwater, Sarah
English in Texas, v44 n1 p20-25 Spr-Sum 2014
Many elementary schools have volunteers who read with struggling readers, yet most have limited background knowledge on teaching reading or a framework to follow when working with students. This piece outlines "Fast Track to Fluency," a method to ensure volunteer and students' time is used efficiently in the classroom. Data from "Fast Track to Fluency" suggests that repeated readings--even with volunteers guiding the reading--have a strong correlation with increased fluency in struggling readers.
