Fluency

Fluency refers to one's ability to express oneself easily and articulately. 

There are three main areas of fluency: 

• Accuracy - determined by the number of words read correctly divided by the number of words read, multiplied by 100. 

• Speed - the pace at which words are read

• Expression - how one makes their thoughts and feelings known [through speech]

Other components of fluency include: 

• Substitutions

• Omissions

• Insertions

• Repetition

• Self-corrections 

(Kuder, 2018). 

Fluency can be practiced by reading aloud, repeating readings, and practicing site words.
