10-second review: What role does fluency play in successful reading?
Quote: “Reading fluency is one of the defining characteristics of good readers, and a lack of fluency is a common characteristic of poor readers.”
Quote: “…lack of reading fluency is also a reliable predictor of reading comprehension problems…. Once struggling readers learn sound-symbol relationships…and become accurate readers, their lack of fluency emerges as the next hurdle they face on their way to reading proficiency…. This lack of fluent reading is a problem for poor readers because they…focus on decoding at the word level that makes comprehension of the text difficult, if not impossible.”
