Learner Objectives
This session will help participants…
- become aware of how reading fluency has been defined by the National Reading Panel;
- understand the relationship between phonological processing speed and reading fluency;
- learn about the nature of the orthographic lexicon and how it influences reading fluency; and
- provide school psychologists with information that will help them consult with teachers about reading fluency.
Description
We tested Torgesen and colleagues’ hypothesis that reading fluency is largely the by-product of the size of a student’s sight vocabulary. Our evidence supported this hypothesis.
