Fluency refers to the reading of words quickly and accurately. And research has shown that skilled word level reading is the gateway to fluency.

If fluency related issues are connected to deficits in decoding, instruction should target phonics. If fluency is impaired by rate and accuracy, instruction should target automaticity in application of skills.

The largest factor that determines a student's fluency is the size of his or her vocabulary. So fluency instruction should be directed towards building a student's sight vocabulary. These words can be either phonetically regular or irregular, but the point is for students to be able to instantly read them because they are that familiar.

Simple exposure to words and reading practice boosts sight vocabulary of typical readers!
