Parents and teachers should prioritize reading fluency and the mastery of long vowels for children ages 4-7 because these skills form the foundation for future literacy and academic success. Reading fluency involves the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with appropriate expression. This fluency helps young readers to focus less on decoding individual words and more on understanding and interpreting the text, which is crucial for comprehensive learning.

Long vowels play a key role in this developmental stage. They influence the pronunciation and meaning of words, enabling children to differentiate between words like "ship" and "sheep" or "bat" and "bait." Correctly identifying and articulating long vowels allows kids to enhance their spelling, decoding, and phonemic awareness, which, in turn, improves reading fluency.

By the age of seven, children who have strong reading fluency and a good grasp of vowel sounds are more likely to develop a love for reading. This love for reading expands their vocabulary, knowledge, and cognitive skills. Struggling readers, on the other hand, often face challenges that can affect their confidence and performance across all subjects. Early interventions by parents and teachers to focus on these skills can set the stage for lifelong learning and success, emphasizing why this developmental window is critical for effective educational practices.
