How to Address Fluency with Students with Dyslexia?
Reading fluency is one of the well-documented challenges that most students with dyslexia face. In fact, low fluency in reading is one of the widely accepted characteristics of dyslexia. Some studies have found that even when early, appropriate, and intensive reading instruction is provided, some students still struggle to read text fluently. This session discusses the specific considerations for assessing and providing intervention in reading with a focus on fluency. Issues specific to early and later phases of reading development will be discussed, making this session relevant for K-12 educators who teach reading or provide reading intervention.
