✦ Synopsis

Parents and teachers alike will find this book a valuable tool in helping students become fluent
readers. Fluency is the ability to read smoothly and easily and is essential to reading
comprehension. Prereading activities, which include building vocabulary and context, help students
prepare for the readings. Decoding words ahead of time enables students to focus more attention
on the actual meaning of the text. Activities are also designed to help students build their reading
speed. By training their eyes to read more than one word at a time, students stay more focused and
can better remember what they have read. This book also encourages students to read aloud with
expression, which helps foster better comprehension. Students demonstrate their understanding of
the readings in follow-up exercises and then extend this understanding through critical thinking
questions. You will feel rewarded providing such a valuable resource for your students. Remember
to praise them for their efforts and successes!
