Reading fluency includes the following abilities:
- **expressing feeling while reading aloud** (this contributes to comprehension and engagement)
- **recognizing words automatically** (automaticity is a key aspect of fluency)
- **reading at a comfortable pace** (fluency involves reading smoothly and at an appropriate speed)
The following do not typically align with reading fluency:
- **reading slowly and deliberately** (while this can be helpful for comprehension in certain situations, fluency is about reading smoothly and effortlessly)
- **reading as fast as possible** (fluency is not just about speed; it's about reading accurately while maintaining comprehension)
So the correct abilities for reading fluency would be the first three options.
