Reading fluency is fundamental for children ages 7-8 because it bridges the critical transition from learning to read to reading to learn. During this stage, establishing a strong foundation in recognizing and pronouncing normal long vowels plays a significant role. Long vowel sounds, like the 'a' in 'cake' or the 'o' in 'home,' are often more complex for children to master than short vowel sounds. Mastery of these long vowels enhances children's decoding skills, allowing them to read more complex words and sentences with ease.

When parents and teachers focus on reading fluency and normal long vowels, children experience improved comprehension, vocabulary development, and greater confidence in their reading abilities. A solid grasp of long vowels also helps children understand spelling patterns and word structures used in more advanced texts. This foundation contributes to smoother, faster, and more expressive reading, known as fluency, which in turn makes the reading experience more enjoyable and less frustrating for young learners.

The importance of reading fluently cannot be overstated as it impacts overall academic success. Fluency in reading alleviates the cognitive load associated with decoding words, allowing the brain to focus instead on comprehending and enjoying the text. Prioritizing reading fluency and normal long vowels at an early age ensures that children are not only proficient readers but enthusiastic ones, setting the stage for lifelong learning and literacy.
