When a child learns their first few letters, usually some that are in their name, they make each stroke laboriously.  They copy the model that you give them and practice recreating it until the finished product meets your approval.  Are they writing?

Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately and quickly. When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. They group words quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read. Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression. Their reading sounds natural, as if they are speaking. Readers who have not yet developed fluency read slowly, word by word. Their oral reading is choppy and plodding.
