Glossary Definition of word.
reading fluency
Reading fluency is the ability to quickly and smoothly read text with appropriate pauses and inflections. Reading deficiency is manifested by miscues. Reading fluency permits a reader to absorb the most from the Bible and all literature, whether reading or listening. Words convey ideas. When a struggling reader stumbles over unfamiliar words, he loses focus on those thoughts that the author intended to convey. The artistic appeal of poetry vanishes with each miscue. Reading fluency is largely determined by one's vocabulary and ability to sequentially scan words. Your reading fluency improves with increased practice at reading.
Reading fluency also advances by hearing proficient readers. I strongly recommend that parents read the Scripture to their children when they are little. Require your children to read along. As soon as possible, have your child read aloud while you read along and correct any miscues.
Most pastors privately stutter through the long listings of ancient Hebrew names several times before reading such passages publicly. The difficulty of the names found in the Bible (among other reasons) causes me to strongly urge that most Christians listen to professional readers narrate the Bible on video or audio for premier assistance.
Another key technique for improving reading fluency is use of complex cueing systems. |
