Reading fluency and phonics are essential components of early literacy that significantly impact a child's academic success and overall development. For children aged 5-6, these skills form the foundation of reading proficiency. Phonics involves understanding the relationship between letters and sounds, enabling young learners to decode words. When children master phonics, they gain the ability to read more independently, which boosts their confidence and motivation.

Reading fluency— the ability to read text smoothly and accurately— is equally important. Fluent readers understand text better, as they can focus on comprehension rather than grappling with word recognition. This ability allows them to engage with a variety of texts and subjects, fostering a love for reading.

Parents and teachers should care about these skills because they are critical for academic achievement and future learning. Children who struggle with reading early on are at risk for difficulties in later grades, impacting self-esteem and overall performance. By prioritizing phonics and fluency, adults can nurture skilled, confident readers who are more likely to flourish both in school and beyond. Encouraging these early literacy skills creates a ripple effect, benefitting children’s language development, comprehension, and social interactions.
