Reading fluency refers to the ability to read text accurately, quickly, and with proper expression. For children aged 5-7, developing reading fluency is crucial as it lays the foundation for all future learning. Normal long vowels, which are the vowels that say their names, play a significant role in building fluency because they are fundamental to understanding the patterns and sounds within words.

When children grasp how long vowels function within words, it enhances their ability to decode new words, leading to smoother and more confident reading. This proficiency not only improves their reading speed but also allows them to focus on understanding the text rather than struggling with individual words.

Additionally, being able to recognize long vowel sounds helps in spelling, and spelling accuracy subsequently supports their writing skills. Early mastery of these concepts makes reading a more enjoyable and less frustrating experience, helping to foster a lifelong love of learning.

Parents and teachers should care about building reading fluency, including understanding long vowels, as it promotes cognitive development, better academic performance, and stronger communication skills. Ultimately, it leads to overall academic success and boosts self-esteem, making learning an exciting and infectious process.
