Reading readiness is crucial for children aged 5 to 7 as it sets the foundation for their educational journey and overall cognitive development. During this formative period, children transition from recognizing letters and sounds to decoding words and starting to comprehend texts. By fostering strong reading skills early on, parents and teachers equip children with essential tools that support academic success across subjects.

Children who develop reading readiness are more likely to enjoy reading, establishing a lifelong positive relationship with books. This enthusiasm fosters curiosity and a love for learning, crucial components for intellectual growth. Additionally, reading readiness enhances children's vocabulary, language abilities, and comprehension skills. These benefits contribute to improved communication abilities and confidence in both personal and academic settings.

Moreover, early reading helps identify potential learning difficulties such as dyslexia, giving parents and educators a head start in offering targeted interventions. Ignoring reading readiness can lead to struggles in later grades, where the curriculum intensifies, and comprehension becomes more critical.

In summary, attention to reading readiness between ages 5 to 7 cultivates a strong educational foundation, encourages lifelong learning habits, and supports differentiated learning needs, making it a significant focus for both parents and teachers.
