Fluency - Reading 101 | ABCs of Teaching Reading Reading 101 Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly, and with expression. Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Watch an afterschool program called RAVE-O that helps teach reading fluency in Malden, Massachusetts.
