📊 Why is reading fluency landing on Year 6 teachers? 👇
Uptake dips in Years 3–5, then spikes in Year 6. Are we leaving earlier years under-supported? Shouldn’t fluency run from Year 2 all the way through?

I've been challenged to completely rethink Reading Fluency.
After looking into what @ReadingShanahan really says about reading fluency, here's how every teacher can efficiently implement it in their classroom this year🧵👇
📖 We analysed hundreds of Ofsted reports.
🕵️♂️ The verdict? Phonics is strong—but fluency is the next big focus.
👨🏫 Ofsted, EEF & DfE all say decoding isn’t enough.

What’s Ofsted saying about reading fluency? 🧐
After reading 100s of reports, it’s clear:
✅ Fluency is finally on the radar.
As phonics improves, inspectors are shifting from decoding ➡️ fluency.
