Reading fluency is a crucial component of literacy development for children aged 5-9 and is essential for their academic success and lifelong learning. During these formative years, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. Fluency — the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression — allows young readers to absorb and comprehend text more effectively. When children are fluent, they can focus their cognitive resources on understanding the material, rather than struggling with decoding words.

Furthermore, reading fluency significantly impacts a child's confidence and motivation. When students can read easily and with understanding, they are more likely to enjoy the process and engage with various texts, fostering a lifelong love for reading. Parents and teachers play a vital role in encouraging this by providing appropriate reading materials, modeling fluent reading, and creating supportive reading environments.

Additionally, research has shown that children who achieve reading fluency at an early age are better prepared for future academic challenges. Thus, fostering reading fluency not only supports immediate literacy goals but also sets a solid foundation for broader educational development, making it essential for parents and educators to invest time and resources into nurturing these skills during the early years.
