**Responsive Reading Instruction for Middle and High School Students**

Jan Hasbrouck reminds us that even when students can decode accurately, many still struggle to read grade-level text with enough automaticity, phrasing, and stamina to support comprehension. Secondary fluency is not about speed; it’s about freeing cognitive space so students can think deeply, make connections, and engage with increasingly complex texts.

***“Fluency doesn’t guarantee comprehension, but it’s going to be pretty hard to have comprehension without fluency.”***

As texts become longer, more complex, and vocabulary becomes more challenging in upper elementary, middle school, and beyond, fluency practice remains essential for building strong comprehension. Students who continue working on fluency are better equipped to tackle the demands of increasingly difficult academic texts.

**Benefits:**

- Strengthen their understanding of how fluency contributes to comprehension across rigorous academic texts.
- Explore what matters most when assessing and teaching secondary readers to reach the outcome of comprehension
