Building Reading Fluency with Gayu Mini Bites: A Practical Guide for Early Years Classrooms

📌 By Gayathri | Gayu Mini Bites | PYP Educator & Curriculum Coach

As an early years educator, I’ve always believed that fluency isn’t just about speed—it’s about confidence, rhythm, understanding, and joy in reading. ✨ In my years of working with young learners, especially those taking their first steps into literacy, I discovered that many struggled with reading fluently not because they lacked intelligence, but because they lacked the right kind of consistent practice. 🤔

This gave birth to Gayu Mini Bites—a personal, teacher-developed reading strategy that uses bite-sized, repetitive, phonics-rich stories, activities, and fluency pyramids to boost reading skills in a fun, focused way. It was designed with the belief that small, consistent steps lead to big achievements. 🚀
