how they forget

I can't believe it, well, I actually I can. We work on fluency everyday. After Ed came in and asked a couple of students who were working together why they were doing what they were doing, they did not tell him. Yikes, something we do everyday, and something we've talked about why we're doing it too. Of course I asked the rest of the class, and everyone was able to tell me why we "read our decodables and time each other." Sometimes, as many times as you drill something into them, they still do not remember.
