fluent reader
Smooth text processor
A fluent reader reads smoothly, accurately, and with appropriate speed and expression.
The term appears most often in educational contexts, where reading fluency marks a developmental milestone—the point where decoding becomes automatic enough that attention shifts to comprehension: By third grade, most students should be fluent readers.
