Fluency of the aloud, oral type is not an indicator of anything except for fluency itself, but most especially in readers who have excellent silent reading comprehension. If you must improve fluency, make it fun by using readers' theater, speech sharing (can you read the first stanza of Abraham Lincolns' Gettysburg Address or MLK Jr's Have a Dream Speech) or poetry chanting, etc.
Some people, not just kids, never become good read-aloud readers. Just ask my class when I have a sub and I ask him/her to read the next chapter in our read-aloud chapter book. 9 times out of 10, the kids complain about the sub's poor reading!
