SLM Teaching Fluency

Structured Literacy Modules are a set of modules that discuss the components of evidence-based structured literacy instruction. The modules provide an in-depth explanation of the ways research, grounded in the science of reading, informs structured literacy, why the components of structured literacy are necessary for developing skilled readers, and how these components can be practically applied during direct instruction.

In the “Teaching Fluency” module, participants:

• discuss reading fluency, its importance, and its interconnection with other reading subskills
• practice identifying underlying instructional needs based on observed reading habits
• identify appropriate types of texts for building fluency and effective instructional strategies for improving fluency
• learn how to assess different features of fluency and determine when additional fluency intervention is needed

Audience:

• Students pursuing degrees in education as part of their school coursework
• Administrators or school leaders needing to build background knowledge on literacy
• Those preparing to take a reading certification exam
• Any educator needing to build background knowledge on the topic

If CEUs are needed, a separate paid version (Structured Literacy Modules for CEU Credit) is available on the Neuhaus store.
