Abstract

Dear IEJEE readers,
Dr. Rasinski has shown his scholarly passion to get us understand the importance of reading
fluency once more. But this time, he has made his contribution to the field of reading as a
special issue editor and author. He gathered a group of active reading fluency experts and
materialized this unique special issue of International Electronic Journal of Elementary
Education. We just want to show some sample pieces from their scholarly well written
articles below. We wish you a fluent reading!
“Reading fluency is made up of two distinct components at two ends of the reading spectrum –
automaticity in word recognition and expression in oral reading that reflects the meaning of the
text. In a sense, reading fluency is the essential link between word recognition at one end of the
spectrum and reading comprehension at the other.”
