This is followed by a discussion of reading fluencyand comprehension data gathered by one of the authors in India that highlight the possibilities for theacquisition of fluent reading in those learning English as a second language. Following a review ofstrategies to assist middle and secondary teachers with the development of fluent reading in theirstudents, we conclude with a discussion of word study strategies that promote syllabic andmorphemic analysis.
