Reading builds on a few core skills that every learner develops step by step.

The foundations cover:

• Fluency means reading with speed, accuracy, and expression. It frees up mental energy for comprehension.
• Vocabulary and comprehension: knowing word meanings and understanding what the text says. Together they turn reading into real understanding.

Once these basics are mastered, comprehension improves naturally.
