Chapter 10

This chapter is so important because it is basically the foundation of good reading and comprehension.Teachers need to be able to pinpoint those readers who are dependent or independent. Measuring fluency is a great way to provide this. One stratgey I thought was a great idea was to read aloud to the students. Using the educator as a model, the dependent students will be able to learn appropriate expression, phrasing, and pacing. Another important suggestion Beers has is that teachers should prompt students when reading, not correct. If students are constantly told their wrong, it will not only discourage them from reading but also it can be hard for them to correct their own mistakes.
