Fluency Focus: Student-Centered Fluency Tracking
Dyslexia results in a persistent lack of fluency despite higher-level thinking skills, growing vocabularies, and increasing comprehension abilities. This session will discuss the important role of building fluency in dyslexia remediation and how to include students in the tracking process. The most up-to-date scientific evidence regarding building and measuring fluency will be explored along with practical ways to include these practices in your classrooms.
