Comparing perspectives from language acquisition, reading, and mathematics, the book parses the vagueness and complexities surrounding fluency concepts and their resulting impact on testing, intervention, and students' educational development. Applications of this knowledge in screening and testing, ideas for creating more targeted measures, and advanced methods for studying fluency data demonstrate the overall salience of fluency within CBM. Throughout, contributors argue for greater specificity and nuance in isolating skills to be measured and improved, and for terminology that reflects those educational benchmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndicators of fluent writing in beginning writers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluency in language acquisition, reading, and mathematics.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoundations of fluency-based assessmentsin behavioral and psychometric paradigms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing response time and accuracy data to inform the measurement of fluency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing individual growth curves to model reading fluency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLatent class analysis for reading fluency research. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fluency Construct: Curriculum-Based Measurement Concepts and Applications\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in clinical child and school psychology, language and literature, applied linguistics, special education, neuropsychology, and social work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-12-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493928026\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-2803-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 386\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44479428067468,"sku":"9781493928026","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493928026.jpg?v=1776545566","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493928026","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
