Strong readers have developed powerful systems for learning words. They problem-solve "on the run" while reading for meaning. Struggling readers have less words they recognize effortlessly and their word solving is slow and tedious. This is often the reason for poor fluency and comprehension.
All students need to build a core of words they recognize automatically, such as high-frequency words, and practice reading daily to improve their system of learning words.
