What is fluency?

Fluency is the ability to speak, read, or write, smoothly and easily.

Why is it important to learn how to read fluently?

It is important to learn how to read fluently, because it will help you to better comprehend (understand) what you are reading.  When you are a fluent reader, you also will enjoy reading more because it is easier for you to read. 

People who struggle to read fluently, often have a difficult time understanding what they are reading.  They can also be frustrated because they feel like they are spending so much time decoding (physically reading a word), that they do not have time to enjoy reading.
