What a great way for parents to also grow their child’s vocabulary when reading aloud at home! 📚📚📚

Automaticity frees the brain to focus on meaning.

Reading takes a tremendous amount of mental effort when every word has to be carefully decoded.

As reading skills become more automatic, something important happens: the brain has more capacity available to think about what the words actually mean.

That's one reason developing accurate, increasingly automatic word recognition matters. Reading isn't simply about getting through the words on the page. Ultimately, it's about understanding, learning, imagining, and connecting ideas.

For students with dyslexia, building that automaticity can take more explicit instruction and practice—but every skill that becomes more fluent frees up a little more energy for comprehension.

💙 Have you noticed comprehension change as a child's reading skills became more automatic?
