How is fluency defined in reading?

The ability to spell accurately
The ability to read quickly, accurately, and with expression
The ability to read without understanding
The ability to write cursively

The correct answer is: The ability to read quickly, accurately, and with expression

Fluency in reading is defined as the ability to read text quickly, accurately, and with expression. This includes not only being able to decode the words correctly but also being able to comprehend the text and convey the meaning through appropriate phrasing and intonation. This combination of speed, accuracy, and expression is essential for proficient reading comprehension. Option A, the ability to spell accurately, is related to orthographic knowledge, not fluency. Option C, the ability to read without understanding, contradicts the purpose of reading, which is to make sense of the text. Option D, the ability to write cursively, is a skill related to handwriting, not reading fluency.
