Skip the fluency and work on inference and questioning techniques... Hi all. Just weighing in here. Fluency is the "bridge" between decoding and comprehension. When we free up brain space by developing fluency that is all the more space children can devote to the thinking we are asking them to do. It can not and should not be skipped. It also should not just be timed reading without attention to comprehension. We need to include retelling in our fluency work to insure that the children make the connection back to comprehension.
