It was found that the relationship between the speed of
reading and especially in-depth meaning linking was low. However, the literature clearly indicates that one of
the specific characteristics for competency in reading
is reading the text at an appropriate speed (Adams,
1990; Jenkins & Jewell, 1993; Klauda & Guthrie, 2008;
Logan, 1997; Talada, 2007). One could speculate from
this finding that it is necessary to reach a reading speed
parallel to speaking speed; readers who reach this
speed cannot be thought as comprehending faster;
even speed reading may influence comprehension
negatively and students who read slowly may have
problem in comprehending.
A significant relationship was found between
prosody skill and generally comprehension, especially
in-depth meaning linking. Baştuğ (2012) also
determined that prosody was the most significant one
both on the comprehension and writing skills. It can
be said that prosody is the better predictor of reading
comprehension in all of the reading skills. Accurate
reading is especially has an effect on both memory
and recognizing skills. LaBerge and Samuels’s (1974)
ideas also confirm this finding.
According to the results of the study, fluent reading
can be used while measuring the students’ reading
comprehension, comparing their measurement
results or in diversifying the measures. This result
can also be interpreted that by helping students to
acquire fluent reading skills, you also help them to
develop skills regarding reading comprehension.
