Læseflydhed

Læseflydhed refers to the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with appropriate expression. It is a crucial component of reading comprehension, as fluent readers can focus on understanding the meaning of the text rather than struggling with decoding individual words. This skill develops over time through consistent practice and exposure to reading.

Key aspects of læseflydhed include automaticity, which is the effortless recognition of words; accuracy, the ability to read words correctly; and prosody, the ability to read with appropriate rhythm, stress, and intonation. Children typically develop læseflydhed through repeated reading of familiar texts and by practicing reading aloud.

Difficulties with læseflydhed can be an indicator of underlying reading challenges such as dyslexia. Interventions aimed at improving læseflydhed often involve strategies like repeated reading, echo reading, and guided oral reading. Once læseflydhed is established, readers can devote more cognitive resources to comprehending complex ideas and making inferences from the text. It is considered a foundational skill for academic success across all subjects.
