Reading fluency and normal phonics are critical for children ages 7-8 because they are foundational skills that pave the way for success in other academic and life endeavors. Reading fluency involves the ability to read with speed, accuracy, and proper expression, which collectively enable children to comprehend and enjoy what they're reading. At this age, students transition from learning to read to reading to learn. A strong grasp of phonics—the relationship between letters and sounds—is key to developing reading fluency. If children have not mastered these skills, they may struggle with more advanced reading and learning tasks later.

When parents and teachers prioritize reading fluency and phonics, they equip children with tools essential for academic success. Fluency in reading leads to better comprehension, enriched vocabulary, and improved confidence in all subjects, not just language arts. It impacts a child's ability to follow instructions, participate in discussions, and complete assignments efficiently.

Furthermore, developing these skills early fosters a love for reading that can last a lifetime. Children are more likely to seek out books, engage in discussions, and explore diverse subjects when they find reading enjoyable and accessible. Supporting reading fluency and phonics now lays a robust educational foundation that will benefit children throughout their schooling and beyond.
