Fluency
Definition
Merriam Webster Dictionary Online |
According to Sharon Taberski fluency is a students ability to read accurately with expression and comprehension. Fluency, also called automaticity, could be defined as reading with no noticeable effort where the skill is so automatic that no effort is involved. In his article Why Reading Fluency Should be Hot!, Timothy V. Rasinski states that fluency is not just reading fast. Rather the emphasis should be on students reading at an appropriate pace while also creating meaning automatically which I stated earlier is called automaticity.Reading fluency involves a student reading both quickly and without effort. Rereading is one of the easiest ways to help students develop fluency. For more resources check out the University of Oregon's website at http://reading.uoregon.edu/big_ideas/flu/index.php
