Fahrenheit 451 and The Hunger Games are both examples of titles that are included in the dystopian genre.

Reading fluency is related to the reader's capability to develop control over surface-level text so that he or she can focus on understanding the deeper levels of meaning fixed in the text (Rasinski, 2004).Kuhn and Stahl (2003) Studies on fluency and comprehension have revealed, ''Generally, where an increase in fluency was found, there was also an increase in comprehension'' (p.
Phonemics Awareness in Marungko Approach as a Prerequisite in Learning to Read Phonemic awareness is the ability to notice, think about, and work with the individual sounds in spoken words. It is the first thread in the tapestry of reading foundation skill with which the threads of reading are woven (Lumberg, 1998 as cited on The Modern Teacher).
