Parents and teachers should prioritize story comprehension and reading fiction for children ages 3-7 as it lays a crucial foundation for cognitive, linguistic, and social development. At this formative age, engaging with fictional stories enhances a child's vocabulary through exposure to a variety of words and sentence structures, paving the way for robust language skills.

Interpreting stories fosters critical thinking as children learn to follow plot sequences, recognize cause-and-effect relationships, and understand character motivations and emotions. These skills are transferable to real-life situations, helping them make sense of the world around them.

Moreover, reading fiction nurtures empathy by allowing children to see through the eyes of diverse characters, promoting feelings of compassion and understanding. This social-emotional development is essential in cultivating respectful, well-rounded individuals.

Imaginative play and creativity are also bolstered as children visualize story settings and invent their own tales. These activities not only boost cognitive flexibility but also entertain and engage young readers, fostering a lifelong love for reading.

Finally, shared reading sessions between parents, caregivers, or teachers and children strengthen bonds and create positive emotional experiences around books. This supportive atmosphere encourages a child's enthusiasm and dedication to reading, skills they will carry with them into adulthood.
