Purpose:
to verify whether fluency and reading comprehension vary throughout the third year of elementary school and can be used as performance indicators in reading.
Methods:

Four assessments were carried out throughout the year, using the LEPIC software to record the reading made by the children, recording reading errors, as well as the answers to questions regarding comprehension.
Results:
there was an evolution of reading fluency and literal comprehension throughout the tests, but not in inferential comprehension.
Conclusion:
reading fluency and literal comprehension are good performance indicators in the third year of elementary school.
