Many teachers are unaware of the power of repeated reading. Repeated reading effect size is larger than the effect size of phonics. Putting the two together could be a real game-changer for teachers. This blog post gives the history behind Dr. Tim Rasinski's work in this area. It is loaded with great ideas for improving reading instruction in grades 1-5. .doctorsam7.blog/2025/10/18/f…

Fluency Friday!
Autumn is on its way. So, for this Fluency Friday, here are a few autumn poems (including one by the great Kenn Nesbitt @poetry4kids ). Have students practice with a partner to build fluency – and then perform them for classmates and others. Enjoy!
