I think that each teacher really just needs to know his/her students and then determine if fluency is going to determine instructional or independent levels.
I agree completely with this-some children will never read fluently orally but their comprehension is good. I think comprehension is the most important factor in determining reading level. The other extreme is very fluent readers whose comprehension is minimal.
