Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately and quickly

with prosody.

Page 3: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Do you read all text fluently?

Page 4: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Why is reading fluently important?

Page 5: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between

word recognition and comprehension.

FluencyLess Fluent Readers

Must focus their attention primarily on decoding individual words Have little attention left for comprehending the the text

More Fluent ReadersFocus attention on making connections among the ideas in the text and their background knowledgeAble to focus on comprehension

Why might your students have difficulty with reading fluency?

Prerequisite Skills

Letter familiarityPhonemic awarenessKnowledge of alphabetic principle

Page 9: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Prerequisite Skills

Fluency is also dependent on the reader’s vocabulary skills. Students must connect with the syntactical and meaning aspects of words.

Hudson, R., Pullen, P., Lane, H., Torgesen, J. (2009)

Page 11: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Schools, grade levels, and teachers that are not producing strong growth

in phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency in their students are not likely to show strong gains on measures of

reading comprehension. Torgesen, 2005

Page 12: READING FLUENCY Literacy Links Foundations Mary Bailey 2010.

Specifically, schools must provide…

More powerful instruction toward mastery of the alphabetic principal by the end of first gradeStronger support for the growth of reading fluency in first and second grade.

With greater fluency, readers can concentrate on comprehending what they read, develop greater

self confidence, and enjoy reading more.
