Which of the following directly relates to reading fluency development?

  1. Study of affixes

  2. Word analysis skills

  3. Corresponding letters to sounds

  4. Automatic recognition of high-frequency words

The correct answer is: Automatic recognition of high-frequency words

The development of reading fluency is closely linked to the automatic recognition of high-frequency words. When students can recognize these words effortlessly, it allows them to focus more on comprehension and the overall meaning of the text rather than getting bogged down by decoding. High-frequency words often do not follow standard phonetic rules, making their automatic recognition crucial for fluent reading. In contrast, while the study of affixes, word analysis skills, and corresponding letters to sounds can aid in understanding and decoding individual words, they do not directly contribute to fluency in the same way. The ability to read quickly and smoothly is primarily enhanced by the capacity to immediately recognize and understand these common words without hesitation, which propels reading speed and comprehension.
