Fluency expert Tim Rasinski teams up with Melissa
Cheesman Smith, a veteran teacher, to help teachers effectively
weave fluency work into their daily reading instruction.
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.

of The Megabook of Fluency. For schools looking

text." Rachel Clarke, Independent Reading
