Parents and teachers should prioritize comprehension skills in reading fiction for ages 5-6 because these skills form the foundation for a child's overall literacy development. At this age, children are like sponge; they are eager to absorb new information and experiences. Strong comprehension skills enable them to understand, interpret, and engage with stories, which not only boosts vocabulary but also enhances critical thinking.

Reading fiction to young children helps them to immerse themselves in different characters, settings, and plots, fostering empathy and imagination. When they comprehend what they read, they are better equipped to make connections between the story and their own experiences, enhancing their emotional and social development.

Additionally, fostering comprehension skills promotes a love for reading, which can lead to lifelong learning. Engaging discussions about stories and asking open-ended questions can make reading a joyful experience, encouraging children to think deeply and articulate their thoughts.

Investing in comprehension skills at this critical stage lays a strong foundation for future academic success in reading, writing, and beyond, while also nurturing creativity and critical analysis. Thus, understanding the importance of comprehension in fiction is vital for parents and teachers alike.
