Resources for Teaching Fluency

By Maryanne Wolf

The following resources, many available in the Teacher Store, can help you implement theory into good teaching practice.

 

Supplemental Program

Scholastic's Fluency Formula is a supplemental program based on research by the National Reading Panel that indicates that fluency instruction, practice, and assessment are essential for bridging the gap between word recognition and comprehension.

Scholastic’s Fluency Formula Kits include:

  • Direct Fluency Instruction
    Each Kit provides all the components you need to integrate fluency instruction into your daily plan. Flexible weekly plans include strategic instruction for all students plus intervention plans for struggling readers.

  • Fluency Formula Assessment System
    Normed and validated system allows you to assess, diagnose, and tailor instruction to individual needs.

  • Fluency Formula Library
    Leveled books give students targeted independent fluency-building practice, and Audio CDs support students in reading aloud.
