Fluency

After reading the assigned articles from Deeney (2010) and Rasinski (2004) along with the Ch. 4 from our text (Cunningham, 2010), I view fluency very differently. I previously considered fluency in reading simply that of being able to read a passage or whatever one is reading in a way that flows smoothly and sounds right... I now consider it a more complex process. This is especially true for those who struggle with finding "meaning of understanding" in what they read. I have noticed a lot of classroom time in today's classroom is focused on vocabulary to promote comprehension, but is this the best approach?? What ways will you promote comprehension in your classroom while still promoting fluency without confusing the two?
