How+We+Met+the+IRA+Standards

How We Met the IRA Standards During the course of collaborating on our reading fluency project, our group addressed the standard of foundational knowledge by gaining knowledge of best practices in reading fluency instruction. We all will take what we learned about how to develop reading fluency in our students back to our own classrooms. Some of these strategies are readers theatre, repeated reading, phrasing, modeling, shared reading, paired reading, and oral recitation lessons. We all teach different grade levels, but students from Pre-K to middle school can benefit from the fluency strategies discussed in our presentation. Our presentation contained a history of oral reading which recognizes the historical antecedent to the reading methods used in our classrooms today. We demonstrated the standard of knowledge of one of the major components of reading, specifically reading fluency, by giving a comprehensive overview of best practices in the development of reading fluency in students. We have learned many strategies for developing reading fluency and the research that supports these strategies. While collaborating on this project, we learned the role of reading fluency in reading instruction and why it is on e the five major components of reading. Reading fluency is important, and it leads to success with other components of reading, such as comprehension.
