Reading Fluency & Comprehension
Reading Fluency & Comprehension
Fluency is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression. In order to understand what they read, children must be able to read fluently whether they are reading aloud or silently. When reading aloud, fluent readers read in phrases and add intonation appropriately.
Comprehension is the understanding and interpretation of what is read. To be able to accurately understand written material, children need to be able to (1) decode what they read; (2) make connections between what they read and what they already know; and (3) think deeply about what they have read.
Khan Academy: Khan academy is an amazing free resource and not just for math. Your child's special educator will be able to let you know which reading level is right for your child.
