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!
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.

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.
