Reading fluency is a critical skill that influences a child's overall academic success and lifelong literacy. For children aged 3-8, fluency encompasses the ability to read smoothly and accurately, with appropriate pace and expression. It extends beyond mere decoding of words; it involves comprehension and the ability to derive meaning from texts.

Parents and teachers should care about reading fluency because it significantly impacts children's confidence and motivation. When children can read fluently, they are more likely to enjoy the reading process, leading to a positive attitude toward literacy. This enjoyment fosters a habit of lifelong reading, essential for personal and academic growth.

Moreover, reading fluency is linked to improved comprehension. A child who struggles with fluency may spend much of their cognitive resources deciphering words rather than understanding the material. This could hinder their ability to grasp more complex subjects as they progress in school.

Incorporating strategies such as reading aloud, engaging in shared reading, and using age-appropriate texts can enhance fluency. By investing time and resources into developing reading fluency at this formative stage, parents and teachers equip children with essential skills that lay the groundwork for success in all areas of learning.
