Does reading fluency mediate the relationship between cognitive-linguistic skills and reading comprehension? A study in European Portuguese

Research has consistently revealed the existence of an interconnection between reading comprehension, word reading, reading fluency, vocabulary and rapid naming. The main goal of this study was to explore the possible mediating role of reading fluency in the relationship between reading comprehensio...
