Hi, below is a link for a power point presentation that I found helpful. My school received a grant to work on fluency in grades 3-5, but after looking at this PowerPoint and doing more research, I truly believe we need to start with the students early. Anyway, the presentation shows 9 steps to building fluency and goes through each of the steps. It's a start at least. I'm glad you started this thread because I'm very interested in what others think about the importance of fluency, etc.

I have found you to be a wonderful asset to my teaching. A group of teachers have asked that I research strategies that work for fluency. Here is the deal. They would like to focus support (however that might look) on primary grade students that are performing below grade level. There goal is around fluency. I have put my two cents in about comprehension and quality instruction but we are looking at fluency for the time being. This instruction would be outside of their literacy block. With that in mind, what are some of the best "research-based, highly successful" strategies that work with fluency? Just want to pick your brain.
