Reading Independent Fluency & Structural Decoding

English & Expressive Literacy

Your child reads early chapter books smoothly out loud with expression, using context clues and prefix/suffix definitions to unpack unfamiliar multi-syllable words.

In real life

Your child reads a book independently and uses the prefix un- to figure out that unhappy means not happy, or re- to see that re-read means to read again.
