Fluency

 "Fluency is the ability to read text with speed, accuracy and proper expression." (National Reading Panel 2000)

  Fluent readers:
      * Recognize words automatically
      * Read aloud effortlessly and with expression
      * Don't have to concentrate on decoding
      * Can focus on comprehension

   "Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word reading,  and comprehension."
(Reading links, 2002, p.9)
