Oral Reading Fluency: New Findings, Strategies & Online Instruction
90 Minute Webinar with Free, Downloadable Resources
Webinar Description:
Tired of doing the same, old repeated reading drills? This dynamic webinar will provide you with updated research regarding the development of automaticity in word recognition & oral reading fluency. Learn how you can enhance your traditional instructional techniques by learning about new methods to accompany your oral reading fluency work with struggling students. As always, this webinar comes with a number of free resources to get you started!
Learning Outcomes:
Explain the importance of oral reading fluency and the negative impact of deficits in this area.
Compare and contrast contemporary views on oral reading fluency with previous theories.
Describe 2-3 instructional techniques that can used to develop single word automaticity and why this is critical to the development of oral reading fluency.
Explain what is meant by multicomponent fluency training and describe how this would be implemented with a student.
Provide examples of how you can adapt your fluency training into an online format.
