Studies have shown that students who read faster, comprehend better. Their energies are spent on interpreting text, rather than on the mechanics of reading and rereading for literal understanding.
"The study...found a close relationship between fluency and reading comprehension....Students who scored lower on measures of fluency also scored lower on measures of comprehension."
