Fluency: It's All About Comprehension.
Helping students read fluently is a focus of the efforts of many teachers and specialists. And that's a good thing, because research has clearly identified that fluency is “a critical component of skilled reading” (NRP, 2000) and fluency standards have also been included in an essential foundation skill in most reading standards as well as the International Dyslexia Association’s Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading.
