Student self-evaluation on fluency
Strategies for helping students increase fluency to benefit their comprehension
I really like the Fluency Check for students to use as I aim for student independency in regard to their own learning. My only concern is that requiring them to fill out each part might deter them from using the checklist or requiring this for every book might turn a student off from the value of even thinking one’s way through the checklist.
