Developmental, Component-Based Model of Reading Fluency: An Investigation of Predictors of Word Reading Fluency, Text Reading Fluency, and Reading Comprehension
The primary goal was to expand our understanding of text reading fluency (efficiency or automaticity) – how its relation to other constructs (e.g., word reading fluency and reading comprehension) changes over time and how it is different...
Scholarship on globalization suggests that new forms of democratic citizenship and politics are emerging, yet the US educational system remains resistant to global perspectives in the curriculum and continues to favors national identity...
