Enhancing Reading Fluency: A Multicomponent Approach
Why This Workshop
Reading fluency is a core reading skill that eludes many readers, particularly readers with dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities. Defined as reading with accuracy, automaticity, and prosody, reading fluency serves as a bridge between decoding and reading comprehension and plays a critical role in overall reading competence. Often neglected in reading programs, fluency can be taught, practiced, and monitored within any reading program. This workshop supports teachers in understanding fluency’s role within a child’s literacy development and how to implement effective teaching practices and assessment techniques for developing fluency.
Key Learning Objectives
Understand the role and characteristics of fluency in skilled reading.
Analyze the connection between fluency, decoding, and comprehension.
Learn the most effective and feasible tools for assessing fluency.
Identify research-based, program-agnostic strategies and practices to support reading fluency instruction.
Mastering Morphology: Build Reading and Spelling Skills that Stick
Why This Workshop
Morphology, the study of word parts such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots, is an essential literacy skill that significantly aids students in decoding complex words, building vocabulary, and improving language and reading comprehension.
