What is Reading Fluency?
Students with Learning Disabilities (LDs) in
Reading Comprehension and basic reading
skills frequently have weaknesses in reading
fluency.Typically, they do not process groups of words
as meaningful phrases.
They may also make decoding errors in reading
which slow them down and prevent them
from grasping the meaning of the sentence.

Reading Fluency The Struggle
The less fluent a reader, the more he or she must focus
on decoding individual words.
Less fluent readers have difficulty with oral reading,
which is often slow, choppy, and without natural
expression.
Less fluent readers must focus their time and attention
on figuring out the words, leaving little room for
actually understanding the text.
Since reading fluency is the key to reading
comprehension, less fluent readers often fall behind in
educational and professional achievement.

Reading Fluency The Struggle
Although some readers identify words well when
those words are alone or on a list, they may
not read the same words fluently when they
appear in a passage of text.Automatic word recognition is an important
reading skill, but its not the end of the story.
Its crucial to help students move from word
recognition in isolation to reading fluency incontext. This takes training and practice.

The Importance of Reading Fluency
Reading fluency is important because itprovides a bridge between word recognitionand reading comprehension.
Since fluent readers dont have to concentrateon decoding the actual words, they can focustheir attention on what the text actually means.
They can make mental connections
throughout the text, as well as apply thoseconnections to their personal backgrounds andexperiences.
