Fluent is LIT's primary focus, which is to empower parents, educators, and scholars through foundational skills. We are focused on changing mindsets about education and planting the seeds of self-awareness and Grit. Fluent is LIT, which believes in the science of reading and how evidence-based research connects with fluency.
Furthermore, we believe lessons should be differentiated, academically equitable, and speak to scholars' emotional well-being. Fluent is LIT (FIL) also seeks to inform parents of the vital role they play in their child's life. To better support parents, we provide them with content knowledge, skill set, and collaborative strategies.
Fluent is LIT (FIL), which seeks to recruit stakeholders who believe that change is possible. They are committed to understanding the "Science of Reading" and how this theory creates fluent readers.
Fluent is Lit is committed to fostering Fluent Readers (FR) who love reading and can use critical thinking to engage in meaningful discourse.
