The Fluency Formula Kits provide teachers with tools to integrate systematic and explicit fluency instruction into their daily plans. Developed by leading fluency experts, the Fluency Formula recognizes that fluent reading requires speedy recognition of words, decoding accuracy, and oral expressiveness (prosody).
When the ultimate goal is comprehension, the Fluency Formula is a solution that helps students bridge the gap between word recognition and understanding.
Academic advisors/reviewers include: Maryanne Wolf, Timothy Rasinski, Calvin Gidney, Wiley Blevins, Phyllis Hunter, and Kevin Feldman.
