This child can read. Now they need to think.

Advanced Readers

Reading fluency is not the ceiling. It is the floor. Your child has built it. What they need now is not more decoding practice. It is the tools to think. To hold an argument, question a source, plan a paper, manage a long assignment without someone standing over them. Independence is a skill. So is academic writing. So is knowing how your own mind works. That is what this stage tends.
