Book excerpt: This action research examines the impact of poetry in daily instruction and the impact it has on students' perception of their own reading fluency. The action research takes place in the fourth grade classroom; participants are of all abilities and chosen at random. Often teachers fail to examine how specific subjects taught can influence a reader to become more engaged and increase their ability or perception of their own ability through that specific subject being taught, in this case the teacher is exploring daily lessons in poetry. "Focusing on fluency, reading aloud accurately with expression and comprehension, has been named one of the five pillars of scientific reading instruction" (Allington, 2009 p. 6). The ability to read fluently impacts all areas of reading. "If automaticity is the fluency link to word recognition, prosody completes the bridge by linking fluency to comprehension" (Rasinski, 2012, p. 519). Exploring the connections between poetry, fluency, and motivation allows teachers to positively influence readers of all abilities.
