Reading progress depends less on how children are taught and more on how much they read. Yet reading frequency has declined sharply. Without sustained practice, development stalls. This article explores why “reading miles” matter, how reduced reading volume impacts outcomes, and why ensuring children keep reading is now the central literacy challenge.

Auris Tech’s latest whitepaper shows that reading progress depends on whether children continue reading once they can. With engagement declining, Fonetti addresses this by making reading more interactive, responsive, and rewarding. Through real-time feedback, it builds confidence, increases enjoyment, and supports sustained reading practice needed for long-term development.
