Defining Reading Fluency

For the most part reading fluency can be defined as the ability to read text easily, quickly and expressively without making much effort and with little difficulty comprehending the meaning of the text. When evaluating a child's overall reading fluency, there are two different types of fluency that are being looked at: oral reading fluency and silent reading fluency.

Oral Reading Fluency

Much as it sounds, oral reading fluency refers to how fluently a child can read out loud. This type of fluency is less about how well a child understands and remembers what he is reading and much more about how he decodes the text. If your child is a fluent oral reader, he should be able to read a given section of text without stumbling or hesitating, use proper intonation and expression  and pronounce most of the words correctly.

Silent Reading Fluency

Silent reading fluency is a bit more complicated than oral reading fluency.

While, again, a fluent silent reader should be able to read what is in front of him without hesitation, he should also be able to read it more than just word by word. The reader is expected to be able to read without mouthing or saying the words out loud, while visually taking in and comprehending more than one word at a time.
