WHAT IS FLUENCY?
Reading fluency is the ability to read accurately, quickly, effortlessly, and with appropriate expression and meaning (Rasinkski, 2003).
Reading fluency is an important topic when it comes to discussing developing sound readers. This is because fluency allows readers to focus on content, which is the aim of reading instruction. A reader can pay attention to the subtitles of the story when he/she does not have to expend all effort on decoding, thereby increasing overall reading comprehension. In the absence of fluency, readers may find the task to be tedious and difficult. This may lead to not only apathy, but a pattern of reading that does not allow students to find purpose in reading.

FLUENCY RESOURCES
Phrases are a part of sentence or a group of words and should be read differently from a word. When students focus more on individual words, their fluency and comprehension suffer.
