Topic of the Month-Reading Automaticity and Fluency
The biggest obstacle
to proficient reading for many students
is their lack of automaticity, or speed, in understanding words.
Most students, even
those in the lowest quartile, can recognize
frequent
words…eventually. The problem lies in the length of time
that it takes them to
recognize even common words. Struggling
readers devote their
energies to recognizing words, thus not attending
to the content of
what they are reading. TextProject was started to
address this problem.
Over the past decade, we have developed
a set of solutions
aimed at increasing automaticity
that includes student
texts, word lists, webinars, and research.
for an overview of
our resources.
