Unlike any other approach, What Really Matters in Fluency stresses wide, voluntary reading as an overlooked part of reading fluency. Dick Allington's teacher-friendly framework includes plans to implement this wide reading, along with fluency interventions, and tools for assessing and monitoring fluency development. Presented alongside a comprehensive background of what fluency is, how it develops, and why it is important, this framework gives teachers the confidence to teach fluency effectively.

Richard Allington is a past president of the International Reading Association and of the National Reading Conference. He has written more than 100 published papers and reports on reading difficulties, and is the author or coauthor of What Really Matters for Struggling Readers, Classrooms That Work, and Schools That Work. Dick is a former classroom teacher, reading specialist, and federal programs director who has studied and written about fluency since his classic 1983 article in the Reading Teacher, "Fluency: The neglected goal."
