How to Teach Fluency and Comprehension Side-by-Side

When it comes to learning a topic thoroughly and effectively, it is crucial for people to be both understandable of the language of the subject, but also be able to internally comprehend how the language or topic operates. That is why being able to teach fluency and comprehension in tune with one another is vital, as individuals will only be able to effectively apply the knowledge that they gain from their learning if they learn how to do both.

  • Fluent reading refers to sounding out words properly and proceeding at the right speed and smoothness.
