Veenendaal, Nathalie J.; Groen, Margriet A.; Verhoeven, Ludo – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
Text reading fluency--the ability to read quickly, accurately and with a natural intonation--has been proposed as a predictor of reading comprehension. In the current study, we examined the role of oral text reading fluency, defined as text reading rate and text reading prosody, as a contributor to reading comprehension outcomes in addition to…

Cognitive skills and…
