When Progress Is Visible Before It’s Measurable: Reading Fluency, Discernment and World Book Day

Progress in reading does not begin when data appears. In this video, Dr Marion Long explores why early signs of reading fluency are often perceptual before they become measurable, and why professional discernment matters. With World Book Day approaching, we consider what children notice about what adults value, and how over-intervention, performance pressure and premature measurement can disrupt the natural development of fluency. You’ll learn: • Why accuracy and speed are insufficient indicators of fluency • The difference between stopping and stepping back • How anticipation and temporal coherence underpin reading development • What early, often unseen signs of progress look like in the classroom This discussion is for reading leads, SENCOs and school leaders who want to recognise structural change before it appears in assessment data.
