Deep dives
The Importance of Fluency in Reading
Fluency is crucial for effective reading, as it integrates word identification and comprehension. When students read fluently, they can automatically recognize words, which frees up cognitive resources to focus on understanding the text. This enables them to enjoy reading rather than spending all their energy on decoding individual words, thus helping them become more engaged learners. Fluency is seen as a vital component in the balance of phonics instruction and comprehension to ensure students develop a strong reading foundation.
