Repeat to remember: how re-reading boosts fluency

Lingard

Re-reading helps fluency grow not through speed, but through comfort and repetition. The first time feels unclear, the second brings recognition, and the third feels smoother. Each return deepens understanding and builds confidence. Fluency begins when the language feels familiar — and that happens when we slow down and let the words truly stay.
