Fluency and Comprehension Gains as a Result of Repeated Reading
We checked this card's citation and the finding we state against the source's own page or record in October 2026.
What it found
Repeated reading increased fluency and comprehension, for students with and without learning disabilities, both on the passage practiced and as an intervention to improve fluency and comprehension in general. Which features mattered depended on whether progress was measured on the same passage or on new ones.
