What characterizes fluent reading?

  1. Reading at a slow pace

  2. Reading at an appropriate pace with expression

  3. Reading without understanding the text

  4. Reading focuses solely on pronunciation

The correct answer is: Reading at an appropriate pace with expression

Fluent reading is characterized by reading at an appropriate pace with expression. This means that a fluent reader can read text smoothly, with a natural rhythm that reflects the punctuation and emotional tone of the content. It involves not just the ability to decode words quickly, but also the ability to convey meaning through intonation and expression, which enhances comprehension. Fluent readers are able to focus on understanding the text rather than getting bogged down by individual words, allowing them to grasp the overall message and engage with the material more effectively.
