ABSTRACT
Entire books can be, and are, devoted to the subject of the process of reading. For many decades, scholars have presented various approaches to viewing reading and at times have fought so vigorously about the right way to teach reading that the field is full of talk about "reading wars". Although debates about how best to teach literacy continue, there is general agreement that certain components are absolutely necessary for a person to be successful at reading. Traditionally, literacy has referred to the ability to read and write. T. Rasinski suggests an artful approach to teaching fluency, involving readers’ theatre, poetry, songs, and speeches, since "Fluency is best developed through assisted and repeated readings of texts. R. Fink notes that her research "suggests that the more a student reads in one content area, the richer or better at reading the student becomes in that domain".
