"This book lays out the what, why, and how of fluency so that we can get to a point in our classrooms where there is no more fake fluency, but rather real authentic fluency. It argues that fluency is a matter of equity, identity, agency, and access for all learners. It offers concrete fluency actions that encourage efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy, and offers the "Seven Significant Strategies" to teach students explicitly as they work toward procedural fluency"-- Provided by publisher.
