Reading Proficiency
Reading proficiency refers to the ability to read with accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. It is the foundation upon which academic learning, independent thinking, and lifelong literacy are built.
Proficient readers recognise words automatically, understand what they read, and engage confidently with texts across subjects. Systematic instruction in decoding, sight words, and fluency plays a critical role in developing strong and independent readers.
Accuracy
Correct and consistent word recognition through phonemic awareness and decoding.
Fluency
Smooth, expressive reading that supports comprehension and reading confidence.
Comprehension
Understanding, interpreting, and responding meaningfully to written text.
