How is fluency related to reading comprehension? Answer Fluency does not impact a student’s ability to comprehend text. Fluency is the only skill that students need to develop in order to comprehend text. Fluency and reading comprehension are indirectly related, so rather than practice fluency skills, students should learn cueing methods to improve reading comprehension. Fluency does not guarantee reading comprehension, but a lack of fluency means a lack of comprehension.

Phonics is an instructional method in which children are taught to connect sounds with letters or groups of letters. The article "Predictive Accuracy of Nonsense Word Fluency for English Language Learners" (M. Vanderwood, D. Linklater, and K. Healy, School Psychology Review, 2008: 5-17) reports that in a sample of 134 English-learning students, the correlation between the score on a phonics test given in first grade and a reading comprehension test given in third grade was r = 0.25. Can you conclude that there is a positive correlation between phonics test score and the reading comprehension score?
