Reading Fluency
"Fluency
is more than reading fast: it is reading at an
appropriately fast rate with good expression and phrasing
that reflects solid understanding of the passage. Since
fluency is multidimensional, methods of assessment must
capture its multidimensional nature. This booklet provides
a broad definition of reading fluency, one that shows its
connection to word decoding and comprehension, and presents
some simple but effective methods for assessing student
reading progress both in fluency and general
achievement."
