"This book lays out the what, why, and how of fluency so that we can get to a point in our classrooms where there is no more fake fluency, but rather real authentic fluency. It argues that fluency is a matter of equity, identity, agency, and access for all learners. It offers concrete fluency actions that encourage efficiency, flexibility, and accuracy, and offers the "Seven Significant Strategies" to teach students explicitly as they work toward procedural fluency"-- Provided by publisher

After years of searching, John Houston discovered his true home and now aims to help others find theirs. As a leading custom home builder in Texas, he has dedicated sixteen years to creating the kind of family home he yearned for as a child. Growing up, home was not a sanctuary for John; following his parents' divorce, he and his brother faced significant challenges, including living alone with minimal adult supervision from ages 11 and 15. They supported themselves by running a lawn care business while juggling school. Despite the difficulties, John experienced God’s protection throughout his journey, which ultimately led him to marry his dream partner, complete his education, and establish a successful business. In his narrative, John reflects on his life’s trials and mistakes with gratitude for God’s unwavering faithfulness. He emphasizes that his story highlights God's mercy and grace, showcasing themes of anger and forgiveness, a fractured family and its restoration, and the transition from a demanding leadership style to one rooted in love. Through his experiences, John illustrates the transformative power of faith and the importance of building a true home.
