Reading fluency occurs when a child has developed the knowledge and skills to recognize words automatically, accurately, and quickly.
This usually develops at ages 7 to 8. For a child who can read fluently, their brain is able to perform multiple tasks at the same time. These include decoding words, comprehending information, relating the information to existing knowledge of the subject matter, making inferences and judging the information's usefulness for the task at hand.
Reading ability is developed by combining all five components of reading via explicit instruction phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. But while explicit instruction is how children learn these skills, it all comes down to practice, practice, practice when it comes to creating the automaticity they need to become fluent readers.
Thankfully there's a lot parents can do to help children be in the best position when they are ready to learn how to read. Research shows many key early reading skills develop from birth to age 5.
Here are seven things you can do to help your child learn to read. Start with something children can relate to, such as their name. This helps them to learn letters and their corresponding sounds in context. Talk about the way the letters look, sound, and feel. Encourage your child to make the letters using play dough or magnetic letters etc.
Show your child how each letter makes its own sound but when you put them all together they make your child's name.
