Review

"If you're a teacher, then you're dealing with issues of fluency in your classroom daily. No matter what the curricular area, your students can increase their comprehension when you address fluency. Rasinski and Young realize this, and the fluency-enhancing techniques they suggest are both appropriate and necessary. This practical book is a "must have" for every educator."--Joseph S. Pizzo, Integrated Language Arts Teacher, Black River Middle School, Chester, NJ and Adjunct Professor, Centenary University, Hackettstown, NJ

"Unreservedly recommended."-- "Library Bookwatch"

"Why practice? Of course, the answer is to become proficient, skilled, or fluent at something. What if reading is that something? No worries, because in the second edition of their text, Build Reading Fluency: Practice and Performance with Reader's Theater and More, Timothy Rasinski and Chase Young show us how to support the development of reading proficiency by promoting one's reading fluency through practice and performance with engaging texts. They clarify that reading fluency is not speed reading but rather the ability to accurately and effortlessly read the words contained in a text with appropriate phrasing and expression. If you are wondering how to support readers' fluency development, you will leave this text knowing the role reader's theatre plays in this. You'll also gain a vision of yourself as a fluency coach who uses the shared songs, scripts, texts, instructional schedules, assessment ideas, and classroom vignettes to enable students to become fluent readers who have developed the bridge from phonics or word recognition to comprehension. Your instructional performance will certainly be expanded. This text is a must for beginning and experienced teachers."--Diane Lapp, Distinguished Professor of Education, San Diego State University
