What is reading fluency, and what is the nature of interventions to improve reading fluency?

What will be an ideal response?


Reading fluency is rate and accuracy in reading. Historical interventions have focused on

• having students practice reading a piece of text orally several times (called repeated readings).
• readings being first modeled by the teacher or a peer, and sometimes, the student just practices improving his or her time and accuracy independently.

Recent interventions focus on

• trying to improve not only the rate and accuracy of oral reading, but also on strengthening the ties between fluent reading and comprehension.
• teaching of strategies that involve previewing text, summarizing paragraphs, reading with inflection, or monitoring errors to improve not only fluency, but comprehension as well.
