Parents and teachers should prioritize moral understanding in reading comprehension for children aged 5-7 because it lays a vital foundation for both emotional intelligence and social skills. At this formative stage, children are not only learning to read and understand text, but they are also beginning to navigate complex human experiences and emotions. Incorporating moral themes in reading helps children discern right from wrong, fostering empathy and compassion as they develop.

Literature often presents characters facing dilemmas, allowing children to engage in critical thinking and reflect on their own values. Discussing these moral scenarios helps them articulate their feelings, understand diverse perspectives, and appreciate the consequences of actions, which are essential skills for developing responsible individuals.

Furthermore, enhancing moral understanding through reading boosts overall comprehension skills. As children connect emotionally with narratives, they are more likely to engage deeply with the text, remember plot details, and relate personal experiences, which enriches their vocabulary and language abilities.

In summary, fostering moral understanding through reading comprehension not only cultivates a child's ethical framework but also empowers them to communicate effectively, empathize with others, and participate actively in their communities, thereby shaping responsible future citizens.
