Abstract
Increasing the accuracy, automaticity, and expression (also known as fluency) at which students read in 1st and 2nd grade is incredibly important for ensuring continued strength in reading abilities. In this session, educaors will gain knowledge on strategies to help students improve their reading fluency, as well as interesting and engaging ways to teach some of these strategies to students, and ways to access appropriate texts for students to read while engaging in fluency practice. Increased fluency is essential to improving reading comprehension and engagement. As educators, it is our job to push our primary students past decoding every word that they encounter when reading and into the world of reading fluently.
