Phonemic Awareness
Phonemic awareness deals with identifying and manipulating single sounds in words, known as phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest possible unit of sound in a language (e.g. /b/, /i/, /g/). They blend together to form words (big). Every word we use is made up of a combination of phonemes.

Fluency
Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately, quickly, and with expression. Because fluent readers do not have to concentrate on decoding the words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. They can make connections among the ideas in the text and their background knowledge. In other words, fluent readers recognize words and comprehend at the same time (source Reading Rockets).

Comprehension
Comprehension is the reason for reading. If readers can read the words but do not understand or connect to what they are reading, they are not really reading. Good readers are both purposeful and active, and have the skills to absorb what they read, analyze it, make sense of it, and make it their own (Source: Reading Rockets).
