Just as theory is important in music education, it is important in reading education. Theory backs the practice. In reading research, fluency is an important skill required of readers (Rasinski, 2012; National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2000; Texas Education Agency, 2014). Fluency--defined as the ability to read accurately, quickly, expressively, with good phrasing, and with good comprehension (Rasinski, 2012)--is the bridge between decoding words and comprehending text (Reading Rockets, 2012). Dyslexic readers often lack adequate fluency skills, as they may stumble over words or make frequent reading errors (Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, 2014). The intent of this article is to describe how teachers can help struggling readers improve fluency skills by providing them with opportunities to integrate reading and music, a tool which has the potential to motivate student learning (Register, 2001).
