Fluency: It's All about Audience
Leathers, Jacqueline
Reading Teacher, v70 n4 p499 Jan-Feb 2017
This essay describes the struggle to get one second grade reader who was in need of fluency practice to overcome his resistance to rereading familiar texts. This was done through the use of videos which were sent to parents on a weekly basis after the texts had been practiced several time with an eye toward all aspects of fluency--phrasing, prosody, and rate.
