- Abstract
This study aims to examine whether there is a relationship between reading comprehension and fluent reading skills of primary school students (2nd-5th graders) and their reading comprehension is predicted by their fluent reading skills. This study had a survey design and was conducted in Kulu, Konya, Turkey. The sample consisted of totally 72 students of whom 18 were selected for each grade level who vary from each other in terms of gender and academic performance. Data were collected through "The Prosodic Reading Scale" and "Comprehension Tests". Besides, the data related to students' reading fluency and reading rate were rated through the scales regarding video records. Correlational and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that reading fluency, reading rate, and prosody are found to be significantly interrelated. According to the correlational results, prosodic skills and reading rate were found to be closely related. Fluent reading skills and comprehension were also found to be interrelated. The most significant factor that is related to reading comprehension was found to be prosody as one of fluent reading skills. According to the results of multiple regression analysis, fluent reading skills were found to significantly predict reading comprehension. The factor that best predicts reading comprehension was found to be prosody.
