T07 CLT: Use of Oral Reading Fluency in Predicting Silent Reading Fluency Among Secondary and Postsecondary Students

• In Event: Roundtables - Friday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables II - CLT

Short Description

Reading measures have traditionally focused on fluency, word recognition, and comprehension. Attention paid to fluency has focused on the elementary grades, largely ignoring the secondary level. Fluent reading, however, is critical for those planning to attend higher education. Regrettably, many students are ill prepared for the demands of postsecondary reading. This session is intended to open dialogue among those interested in filling the critical void in reading fluency research focused on secondary and postsecondary levels.
