Fluency is the bridge between word recognition and comprehension. If students don't develop it, they will struggle to read proficiently. In this eagerly anticipated new edition, Rasinski and Smith discuss fluency's connection to the science of reading. They provide dozens of ready-to-use, science-backed teaching strategies and student practice pages, updated to include more diverse authors. The book's easy-to-navigate design now includes QR codes to demonstration videos and downloadable student pages.
