Probably the first thing that pops into your mind when you think about fluency is speed, how quickly one can read. True, this is an aspect of fluency BUT it doesn’t fully describe what fluency is, and you can really hurt students overall if speed is the only thing you focus on when teaching fluency.. If you solely focus on speed, then students will likely get in the habit of not comprehending what they are reading, and they may even begin to HATE reading, which is a hard mindset to change...
