Fluency means being able to read as well as one speaks. It includes reading at the appropriate rate and with correct prosody (intonation and inflection.) Fluency is an important aspect of reading because it is difficult to derive meaning when text is read at a slow, halting, word-by-word pace. Research demonstrates there is a strong correlation between fluency and comprehension.
