For a pupil to read *anything* with fluency, they must be able to recognise the words with automaticity.
Fluency relies on other things too, but automatic word recognition is fundamental.

one of my colleagues at UoA Psych has gone into inner-city modern learning environment schools and simply sticks a microphone in them to measure the ambient noise. she told me "they're BARNS. it's so noisy in there that it's like kids are trying to learn next to a LAWN MOWER."

Nobody believed us when we warned them RFK Jr.’s endgame is to eliminate all vaccines. They told us we were histrionic and hysterical. I’ve been watching RFK Jr. for 20 years. He’s antivax to the core. He really means it, and NOTHING will change his mind. He will do all he can to eliminate vaccines.
