Why Does Reading Fluency Matter?

Reading fluently enables children to grasp the meaning of texts more effortlessly. When they can read with speed and accuracy, they have more mental resources available to focus on understanding the content. This, in turn, enhances comprehension and retention of information, laying a solid foundation for academic achievement across all subjects. Fluent readers also encounter a broader range of words and phrases, therefore expanding their vocabulary naturally. Through exposure, children can infer meanings of unfamiliar words from the context of the text, fostering language development and communication skills. At Jill Abrams Tutoring, Inc. we have trained tutors that will help your child become a fluent reader who will enjoy learning and reading.
