Hi,
After attending the Sharing Best Practice Gippsland Conference, I’m on a quest to learn more to support the implementation of the Big Six at our school. The teaching of fluency is an area we need to develop a consistent understanding of to improve our teaching. Looking forward to the course!
Wasn’t the conference dynamite?! Glad you’re here and hope you find lots of useful things!
Hello everyone, working as a teacher librarian whose programs are designed to encourage students to read for pleasure is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. However, it has recently dawned on me that there is no point encouraging students to read for pleasure if reading is not pleasurable. It may well be that many of the student who are reluctant readers cannot read fluently. And so, here I am.
Here you are indeed! Hoping you enjoy the content, Antoinietta!
Hello, I am a teacher and English coordinator in a rural SA school. We have a focus on improving reading and are looking at the different components to bring into our practise. I’m looking forward to supporting and improving my own and our staff’s knowledge and instruction around fluency.
Glad to have you here, Lisa!
Hi I am Maura and I am very passionate about the explicit teaching of literacy. I love learning and upskilling myself.
Hoping you find lots of good updates here, Maura!
Kia ora. Helen here in Invercargill, NZ. A student I’m tutoring has made good gains in his decoding but fluency definitely needs work so that’s my current area of learning. I’m also hoping to expand my tutoring and know that fluency will be an important part of that work. Looking forward to building my knowledge and tool kit.
Hi Helen,
Nice to see you here. I’ll be in Invercargill in September 2023!
Hi! I attended your session at The Reading League Conference in October, and I found it to be incredibly informative. I am eager to learn more about strategies for helping students become fluent readers.
