Tackling fluency is one of the most basic, but most important aspects of reading comprehension. The more we read with expression, the easier it will be to grasp the author's intention and the meaning of any complex text!
Reading Lab #9: Fluency

Objective: Students will be able to read a passage with appropriate speed, accuracy, and emotion.
Essential Questions:
Why is it important to recognize tone in a passage?
How can reading with emotion and confidence help comprehension?
