My P4 child still reads Tamil very slowly. Is this a problem?

Daily reading aloud practice — particularly repeated reading of the same passages — typically produces noticeable improvement within 4–6 weeks. If progress is very slow, speak with the Tamil teacher about whether additional support is needed.
