Reading practice for children ages 3-5 is crucial for several reasons. First, it lays the foundation for literacy, helping children associate sounds with letters, recognize words, and build a robust vocabulary. When parents or teachers engage with children during reading, it fosters a love for books and storytelling, making reading a fun and regular part of life.

Moreover, early reading practice enhances cognitive development, stimulating brain areas responsible for language and comprehension. This early development is crucial, as it predicts future academic success. Studies have shown that children who are read to frequently before kindergarten are better prepared to start school and have an easier time learning to read themselves.

Additionally, reading practice helps in developing attention span and listening skills. As stories capture children's imaginations, they learn to focus and listen, awaiting the story's progression. Interactive reading sessions can expand children's imaginative capacity and expressive language skills, which are important for overall emotional and social development.

Finally, reading together can strengthen parent-child or teacher-student bonds. These moments of shared adventure and learning create emotional connections that benefit children’s mental health and their sense of security and belonging. Therefore, prioritizing reading practice from a young age is key to fostering academic, cognitive, and emotional growth.
