Beyond Phonics: Building Students’ Vocabularies with Professor Timothy V. Rasinski
In the UK, the National Curriculum states: ‘Good comprehension draws from linguistic knowledge (in particular of vocabulary and grammar) and on knowledge of the world.’ and that ‘Skilled word reading involves both the speedy working out of the pronunciation of unfamiliar printed words (decoding) and the speedy recognition of familiar printed words.’
In this session, Professor Timothy V. Rasinski will outline strategies to help you build on your pupils’ phonic knowledge and support their development of vocabulary, fluency and comprehension skills.

The Megabook of Fluency
Fluency expert Timothy V. Rasinski teamed up with Melissa Cheesman Smith, to help teachers effectively weave fluency work into their daily reading instruction. The book is packed with engaging text and tools, an assessment scale, and high quality ready-to-use lessons including text phrasing and tonality, echo reading, word ladders, and more! Given the importance of fluency- and its pivotal relationship to comprehension and word recognition- the potential is high for improving students’ overall reading achievement, and their performance in other content areas.
