Oral Reading Fluency
Oral Reading Fluency refers to the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with appropriate expression. It involves the smooth and fluent reading of words and sentences, demonstrating proficiency in decoding and comprehension skills. Readers with strong oral reading fluency are able to read aloud with natural pacing, intonation, and expression, conveying the meaning of the text effectively. This skill is essential for developing reading comprehension, as fluent readers are able to focus on understanding and interpreting the text, rather than struggling with decoding individual words.
