Which of the following is NOT a component of reading fluency?

Rate
Vocabulary
Accuracy
Prosody

The correct answer is: Vocabulary

Reading fluency is typically defined by three primary components: rate, accuracy, and prosody. Rate refers to the speed at which a reader can read text, reflecting their ability to process words quickly and smoothly. Accuracy involves the ability to recognize words correctly without errors, indicating a reader's understanding and familiarity with the text. Prosody pertains to the rhythm, intonation, and expression used when reading aloud, which can enhance comprehension and engagement with the material. Vocabulary, while a critical aspect of literacy, is not considered a component of reading fluency itself. Instead, vocabulary knowledge supports comprehension and overall reading development, but it does not directly define fluency. Thus, the correct answer identifies vocabulary as the aspect that does not belong with the other three components of reading fluency.
