Findings from a recent National Association of Educational Progress (NAEP) study show that reading comprehension is connected to a student’s ability to read text fluently and accurately, and to their ability to recognize and decode words. Yet, the same findings indicate only 35% of students in the fourth grade are at or above the proficiency level in reading.
