6. The Importance of Fluency
The less effort students devote to sound/word identification, the more attention they have available to devote to meaning.
Students who lack fluency may not easily acquire more complex skills; this holds true in other academic areas as well.
It is a worthwhile outcome measure for judging the effectiveness of instruction.
