About Fluency Reading fluency is the ability to read text accurately and quickly. Fluency bridges word decoding and comprehension. Fluency is a set of skills that allows readers to rapidly decode text while maintaining a high level of comprehension. Reading fluency encompasses both rate of words read per minute, as well as the ability to read with expression. The idea is that children will recognize the high frequency words and that such instant reading of these words will allow them to read and understand text more quickly. As children learn to read, the speed at which they read becomes an important measure of fluency.

About Accuracy Reading with accuracy involves readers to have highly automatic word recognition and the skills to sound out unfamiliar words. Students can go over the 100 frequency words to help improve reading accuracy.

About Comprehension Reading comprehension is when a student understands the text. It is important to remember, recall, and retell the important facts in a story. The student must be able to organize the information read as key concepts, main ideas, and supporting details. Reading comprehension is important because without it reading does not provide the reader with any information. Reading comprehension strategies such as predicting, rereading, clarifying, making connections, visualizing, asking questions and summarizing are helpful tools for reading before, during and after the story.
