Read on autopilot with speed, accuracy, and proper expression.
In teaching we focus on fluency to determine how much a student is able to read without
having to stop and ask "what is this word?
We can spot fluency through a combination of enthusiasm, proper pauses, and consistent
reading speed through a passage.
