Reading fluency is a critical skill for children aged 5-6, marking the developmental transition from decoding words to reading with confidence and comprehension. At this age, fluency means children can read sentences smoothly, recognize words quickly, and understand what they're reading without laborious effort. For parents and teachers, caring about reading fluency is crucial because it forms the foundation for future academic success.

Fluent reading allows children to focus their cognitive energy on understanding the text rather than decoding each word. This enhanced comprehension enriches their learning experiences across all subjects, from math word problems to understanding scientific concepts. Additionally, fluent readers gain access to a wider range of reading materials, which further stimulates their intellectual curiosity and fosters a lifelong love for reading.

Another key reason to prioritize reading fluency is the impact it has on a child's self-esteem and motivation. Successful reading experiences build confidence and a positive attitude toward learning, encouraging children to tackle more challenging material as they grow.

Early intervention in fluency development can also help identify potential reading difficulties, allowing for timely support and remediation. Therefore, by investing time and effort into developing reading fluency at ages 5-6, parents and teachers set children on a path to academic success and a love for lifelong learning.
