Details: The Fluent Reader is Rasinski's definitive work on the subject. It is a book that should be on every grade school teacher's shelf. The strategies developed in this book are applicable to any age or grade level. Since fluency is directly correlated with comprehension, it is imperative that children learn to read fluently as soon as they know how to decode. This book shows how to make that happen!
Review Summary: Textbook

Details: This book is fantastic! It is easy reading with ideas that are applicable the moment you start reading. I teach kindergarten and some of the ideas had to be watered down to meet my needs, but for grades 1-8th it is perfect.
I ususally get rid of a book after I've read it, but not this one. It is a great reference book for any teacher. I highly recommend this book.
Review Summary: very informative

Details: This book is a wonderful resource the the reading teacher from k-8th grades. I have been a kinder teacher for 16 years and I found it helpful not only for my grade level but it helped me feel that I would be effective in other grade levels as well, something I had not previously felt. It reads very easily, gives many strategies, and contains resources to implement the strategies. I would make this required reading for every teacher.

Details: Tim Rasinski has successfully married theory and practice with this easy read, and included forms, resources and practical ideas that can be integrated into the classroom immediately. We purchased them for several teachers in the district so that they can get the strategies to students without delay. Strongly recommend this resource to others!
