What Is Reading Fluency?

Reading fluency is how smoothly, accurately, and with expression you read text. It’s like playing a song—when you know the notes, you don’t have to stop and think about each one!

How to Build Fluency

• Practice reading aloud every day.
• Try reading the same passage more than once.
• Focus on reading with expression, changing your voice for characters or for excitement.

Why It Matters

Fluent readers can pay more attention to what the story means instead of getting stuck on each word.

Fun Ways to Practice

• Read poems, jokes, or comics for fun.
• Time yourself reading a short story and try to improve.

Real-World Connection

Reading fluently helps you follow instructions, tell jokes, and share stories with friends!
