Reading fluency and phonics are vital components of early literacy for children aged 5-8. Parents and teachers should care deeply about these concepts for several reasons.

Firstly, reading fluency refers to the ability to read text smoothly and accurately, which is essential for comprehension. When children read fluently, they are better able to focus on the meaning of the text rather than struggling with decoding words. This comprehension is crucial for their overall academic success, as it influences performance in all subjects.

Phonics, on the other hand, teaches children the relationship between letters and sounds, enabling them to decode unfamiliar words independently. By understanding phonics, children develop the skills needed to tackle complex texts as they progress in their reading journey.

Early mastery of reading fluency and phonics builds a strong foundation for lifelong literacy. It instills confidence in young learners, encouraging a love for reading and exploration of new ideas. Furthermore, proficient readers can engage in more sophisticated discussions, enhancing their social and emotional skills.

Therefore, by prioritizing reading fluency and normal phonics, parents and teachers set children up for success, fostering positive educational experiences that impact their future. Engaged and confident readers are more likely to enjoy learning and cultivate a richer academic life.
