Unlocking Fluent Readers

Transform Struggling Readers into Confident, Fluent Book Lovers!

Are you a teacher or a parent who wants to learn research-proven, hands-on skills that can help children read fluently, confidently, and with real joy? Unlock the Fluent Readers Guidebook to help your readers unlock the meaning, understand stories, and love the process—not just the pages—as passionate readers.

What’s Inside?

Research-Backed Strategies: From guided oral reading and repeated readings to reader’s theater and phonics drills, learn about strategies supported by research (National Reading Panel, Rasinski, Hasbrouck & Tindal) to develop accuracy, speed, and expression.

Protocols for Use: Implement these systems in your classroom with explicit step-by-step lesson scripts, partner reads, echo/choral reading activities, and fluency games to save everyone time.

Parent & Teacher Tips: Practical help with daily reading time, selecting the right books, and developing a lifelong love of reading.

Books: Ready-made, high-interest, accessible books with graded levels from pre-reading fluency to beyond grade levels and niche or engagement topics.

Tech Integration: Use audiobooks, apps, and free online resources to keep fluency practice rich and engaging.

Why This Book Stands Out:

✨ Joy-Focus Technique: Have fun as you read with character voices, timed “races,” and performances that get kids to say, “Let’s read again!”

✨ For All Learners: Ideal for emerging readers, special needs students, or any child who could use a confidence boost.

✨ Expertly Written: Leonela Salazar is a passionate educator; after a decade in the classroom, she knows the science, but she also knows heart; fluency is not just a matter of practice but, rather, world-building.
