Fluent reading means having a flowing style of reading.
A person may be a fluent reader, but may not understand what they are reading.
On the other hand, someone may understand what they are reading (= reading comprehension), but may not have good speaking ability.
Both skills are important.
To be a fluent reader takes practice. But if you don't understand what you are reading, you will make many mistakes in your reading, i.e. in your intonation, rhythm and word emphasis. So you need reading comprehension first before you can demonstrate good reading fluency.
Language skills require 'taking in' (receptive skills) before we can give out (expressive skills).
'Reading comprehension' is related to 'taking in' what you are reading.
'Reading fluency' is 'giving out', an expressive skill.
Some people are better at receptive skills than expressive skills. But both are equally important.

What is the relationship between phonics phonemic awareness fluency vocabulary and comprehension?
All of these skills build on top of each other. Think of them in a pyramid (you can see a pyramid on my website at http://soundreading.com/On-Phonics.html). Phonemic awareness is at the bottom and serves as the foundation to all the other skills. Next you need fluency. Without fluency the student will be struggling over each sound instead of understanding the larger picture. Next is phonics - you need to develop phonemic awareness before you learn phonics. Vocabulary and Literature make up the top of the pyramid. As students are exposed to more sounds and words they are able to build upon the foundational skills and excel. Reading comprehension comes once all the other skills are mastered and belongs near the top of the pyramid. Students who lack any of the foundational skills will not be able to develop reading comprehension.
What are the kinds of reading comprehension?
There are various ways:Recognizing words quickly and understanding their meaning in the context.Self monitoring to make sure you understand the text.Keeping track of the text in your mind.Another system suggests:Survey,Question,Read,Recite, andReviewIf you are asking about types of reading strategies there are numerous theories and ideas and may depend on the your reading level.If you are a beginner reader then your focus will be on decoding and thus your energy will be spent on number 1 above and often comprehension will be low when reading a piece of text for the first time. A second reading is often helpful. Reading twice is a strategy as is a range of word attack skills that a beginning reader will use.Beyond that visualisation, prior knowledge, asking questions and hypothesizing are strategies that help a reader think more deeply as they read and thus become more involved with text and therefore increase their chances of reading accurately.
How do you determine students comprehension reading level?
There are a number of ways to determine a student's comprehension reading level. This is usually accomplished through quizzes with questions about the content in the reading. These can ask about key points or characters. Another method is long-answer questions that invite a more elaborate description or summarization. Less writing-based methods can include drawing events from a story or mapping the argument of an essay or article, acting things out, classroom discussion, and small-group discussion.
Why is making connections an important reading strategy?
it helps you identify with content and characters, making reading more understandable
