Session Submission Type: Symposium
The development of word reading skills is emphasized in the primary grades and often ignored in upper-elementary and secondary grades. However, instruction in multisyllabic word reading, syntax, and fluency, including repeated readings and prosody instruction, all meaningfully contribute to reading comprehension for older readers. This symposium investigates this research and proposes solutions and paths for future research to support word recognition and fluency skills with students in grades three-twelve.
