Summary/Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effect of more than one fluent reading method and technique (repetitive reading, mumble reading, rhyming reading, reading aloud, and widening the visual spectrum) to overcome the fluent reading problem. In line with the research's purpose, the single-subject research method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. In the study in which the criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used, a study was conducted with a fifth-grade student who was found to have a fluent reading problem. The research was carried out to do fluent reading studies for 15 lesson hours with fluent reading methods and techniques determined in the school library at one-day intervals during one lesson. The data of the research were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Although there was a mathematical improvement in the word recognition level and reading comprehension level of the student studied in the study, the student could not reach the free level and remained at the level of anxiety. The study concluded that more than one fluent reading method and technique used to solve the fluent reading problem was effective in providing mathematical progress in the student's reading speed, word recognition percentage, and prosody and in reducing some reading errors observed in the student.
