Targets for Today:   I can quietly read my own choice of materials for an extended time -- hopefully enjoying it!  I can improve my fluency by better understanding my own reading habits, and by practicing!   I can learn about improving my reading by using metacognition.  I can reduce the amount of information I need to learn by understanding what is most important.
