Reading fluency is an important variable in reading comprehension. However, a limited number of studies on reading fluency are available in Korea. The purpose of this study is to review the articles about reading fluency during last 10 years and to present a direction for future research. Forty research papers from the Journal of Learning Disabilities and Language Speech and Hearing Services in Schools were selected from 2002 to 2012. These papers were analyzed in terms of their subjects and research methods. About 64% of the articles focused on typically developing children and children with dyslexia. About 67% of the research consisted of descriptive studies. Based on these results, suggestions were made for future research on reading fluency.

This study investigated the effectiveness of reading intervention on at-risk readers from first through third grade. The 34 children below the 20th percentile on an oral reading fluency test participated in the reading intervention program for 15 weeks. They received small group instruction in one 40-minute session per week. Data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA, paired t-test and effect size for individual cases. Upon completion of the intervention, at-risk first graders showed significantly higher performance in print concept, word recognition, oral reading fluency and reading comprehension. The at-risk second and third graders improved only in oral reading fluency. Most of children who received the intervention demonstrated a large effect in oral reading fluency.

The study investigated the effects of reading intervention to enhance reading fluency for children from low-income families. The participants were 20 children from low-income families who are in grades 1 to 3. To qualify for participation in this study, all children had to score below 30 % ile on the Receptive vocabulary Test of the Expressive and Receptive Vocabulary Test or the Word reading fluency of the Korean Language-Based Reading Assessment. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=10) or control (n=10) group. The intervention group participated in the individualized intervention program using the guided repeated reading and the corrective feedback strategies. The results showed that participants in the intervention group performed better on reading fluency than those in the control group after participating in the intervention program. Specifically, guided repeated reading with corrective feedback strategies produced significant improvement on generalization to unpracticed passages as well as practiced passages. The results of this study suggest that guided repeated reading with corrective feedback is effective for enhancing reading fluency for children in Korea. Further study is needed in order to develop language-specific reading intervention.

연구의 목적은 외국어 읽기의 유창성과 정확성의 언어습득적 의의를 고찰하고, 효율적인 영어 학습 패러다임을 연구하는데 있다. 언어습득 측면에서, 제 2언어학습의 정확성과 유창성사이에서 무엇을 우선 가르치느냐의 문제는 중요한 이슈가 되어왔다. 제 1언어와 제 2언어의 교실상황에서, 많은 언어연구가들의 관심 때문에, 유창성은 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있다. 정확성과 유창성은 둘 다 중요하지만, 외국어의 경우, 유창성 중심의 학습에서 정확성 중심의 학습으로 점진적인 학습 패러다임의 전환이 있어야 한다. 이런 관점에서, 본 연구는 외국어의 유창성 개발을 위한 대안으로 자발적다독법을 제시하고 있다. 빠르고 정확한 단어 인지 기술과 읽기 유창성이 없으면, 좋은 읽기 능력을 가질 수 없다. 그러므로 유창성 개발을 위한 방법들이 개발되어야 하며, 이것에 대한 해법으로, 자발적다독법이 외국어 교육상황에서 읽기유창성을 위한 효과적인 연구방법론임을 입증하고 있다.

이 연구의 목적은 학령기 말더듬아동과 학습부진아동을 대상으로 읽기과업과 쓰기과업을 제시하여 유창성 및 오류 유형별 빈도에 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 학령기 말더듬아동, 학습부진아동, 일반아동을 각 15명 선정하여 읽기와 쓰기 과업을 통하여 집단 간 차이를 비교하기 위하여 일요인 분산분석을 실시한 후 사후검정을 실시하였다. 읽기과업의 오류유형은 생략, 대치, 반복, 삽입, 자기수정으로 분류하였고, 쓰기과업의 오류유형은 생략, 대치, 첨가, 문법오류로 분류하였다. 읽기유창성과 쓰기유창성을 비교한 결과 집단 간 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 읽기유창성은 모든 집단 간 유의하였으며, 쓰기유창성은 학습부진아동 집단이 다른 집단과 비교하여 유의하게 낮았다. 오류유형별 특성으로 읽기오류는 생략, 대치, 반복, 자기수정에서 집단 간 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 쓰기오류는 문법오류에서만 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 읽기와 쓰기에 기초한 학습능력의 측면에서 말더듬아동과 학습부진아동의 특성을 살펴보고 임상실제에서 장애유형에 적절한 보다 효율적인 치료프로그램을 고안하는데 기초 자료로서의 의의를 지닌다.

This study explores reading fluency among elementary school students considering language level and family income(low SES). Forty eight students from 1st to 3rd grades participated in two paragraph reading tasks. Half of the children were from low income family and half of the children had low lexical knowledge. Reading fluency as in the number of correctly read syllables per minute, the total error frequency and error types were used to compare group differences. There were significant differences in the number of correctly read syllables per minute between two income groups and two language groups. There was a significant difference between low income group and non-low income group in total number of errors only when children's lexical knowledge were low. There were no group differences in error types of repetition and omission. Substitution and insertion error seemed to reflect the total error pattern. These results imply the importance of early screening and early involvement for children with low lexical knowledge from low income family. Monitoring and early intervention will support these children's reading development.

This paper mainly aims to investigate how differently choral speech and altered auditory feedback (i.e., delayed auditory feedback, frequency-altered feedback) enhance speech fluency during sentence reading. To do this, a stuttering reduction rate was used and measured how much stuttering in frequency was reduced during each of the fluency enhancing conditions (i.e, typical choral reading, DAF, FAF) relative to typical solo reading. The results showed that stuttering frequency was reduced in the three fluency enhancing conditions and the highest mean value in stuttering reduction rate was observed during typical choral reading. Some discussion was provided in relation to the stuttering reduction rate observed during typical choral reading and its further speculation.

The purpose of this study was to develop a screening test for children at risk of reading underachievement and to investigate the effectiveness of the early-stage intervention program. In the first part of the study, we recruited 155 elementary first grade students for a screening test. Phonological deletion, digit naming, object naming, and sound-letter correspondence knowledge of a screening test, all assessed at the beginning of the school year, predicted the reading ability at the end of the school year. In the second part of the study, we analyzed the difference in the reading ability between fourteen children who participated in the intervention program and eighteen non-participating children. Reading ability was assessed by evaluating word recognition, oral reading fluency, reading comprehension, and pseudo-word recognition. The reading ability of intervention group improved more compared to control group, and the difference between two groups accentuated over time. However, final analysis conducted in November revealed that two groups did not differ significantly in oral reading fluency. This suggests that, unlike word recognition and comprehension, fluency might not dramatically improve in a short period.

The purpose of this study was to investigate speech rate and fluency in stuttering adults. It was suggested that a measurement guideline of speech rate and fluency for collecting clinically meaningful data be used. Subjects included 10 adults who stutter (mean age=25;8). Syllables were used as the unit of measurement for analyzing the duration of speech. The mean rate was 241 SPM (syllables per minute) for reading, and 196 SPM for spontaneous speaking. Fluency was also measured in both cases. The correlation between rate of speech and fluency was high (r=0.92). A strong positive correlation was found between different investigators in measuring speech rates and fluencies.
