Teaching fluency to emergent readers

The research question addressed in this project was how could a teacher teach fluency to emergent readers? It documented different ways of teaching fluency to individual students. It also documented one teacher\u27s use of different types of strategies to see if fluency could be taught to emergent readers. It integrated Rasinski\u27s timings of words read per minute, the Dolch high frequency word list, Fountas and Pinnell\u27s rubric of fluency, Reading Recovery text reading levels and strategies incorporated by Reading Recovery teachers. The author collected the data over a four-week period and described individual students\u27 acceptance of each strategy and concluded that there are specific ways a teacher could teach fluency to emergent readers and that time spent on teaching fluency was worth taking
