Why Is Fluency Important

assessment is to assess all the areas a reader with good fluency should be able to do. The assessment measures how long a student read for (rate), how many words the student read correctly (accuracy), the number of miscues a student read, accumaticity, and comprehension.

Fluency, Vocabulary, Comprehension Focus Area Hugh Mackay States that “Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.” This quote by Hugh Mackay pretty much states what this paper is about. It will elaborate why fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension are important to all learners at all levels. As well as providing assessments in the areas of fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, which can be used to assess where learners are so that we can provide

Fluency Disorders Growing up and beginning elementary school, children are surrounded by different types of learning styles, disabilities, advantages and many other different routines they aren’t used to but eventually adjust.

When teachers and parents guide a child’s oral reading it has a positive impact on the child’s comprehension, word recognition, and fluency skills.
