There are 3 components to READING FLUENCY: accuracy, automaticity, and prosody.
The first can be directly taught through phonics and decoding strategies.
But, the other two, only come from practice, practice, practice.
It's up to the students to read on their own at home.
A teacher can expose his students to good literature, and even model fluent reading, but it is up to the INDIVIDUAL STUDENT to do the ASSIGNED READING.
Some students don't even bother to read the Cliff Notes anymore!

Interesting how she focuses on the SOCCOR PLAYERS (students) and not the COACH (teacher)!
Some irrational parents like to blame the COACH (teacher)! Maybe, if she hired a better COACH, their game would improve? Ha!
