Description: The ability to read fluently and comprehend texts is essential in our literate society. However, how fluent word reading is involved in reading for meaning and vice versa is still unclear. In this project we investigate reading fluency of sentences and texts to assess what happens when lower-level word reading and higher-level comprehension processes meet. In several papers, we examine the contributions of lower- and higher-level skills to see how word reading fluency and comprehension processes are represented at the sentence and text level. Our aim is to gain more insight in underlying mechanisms of reading and find new measures for the mapping of reading subskills to aid diagnosis and intervention in education and clinical practice.
