Teaching Third Grade -Watch and Learn Developing Fluency Video

In this video, the speakers discuss fluency.  Fluency is the thorn in my side as a third grade teacher because up until now, the students have been drilled to just call the words as fast as they can, a phenomenon known as diebels.  I am constantly telling the students to slow down, read with expression, and to pause at the appropriate breaks such as at a comma.  It is almost like I am teaching to read, really read, and not just call words on a page.
