Reading skills, particularly reading comprehension, are foundational for children aged 5-9, as they serve as crucial building blocks for their future academic success and personal development. During these formative years, children transition from learning to read to reading for understanding, making comprehension essential for grasping more complex ideas across subjects.

Parents and teachers should care about improving reading comprehension because it fosters critical thinking and analytical skills. When children are encouraged to engage with texts, ask questions, and draw connections, they not only enhance their understanding of narratives but also develop abilities that are applicable in mathematics, science, and social studies.

Additionally, strong reading skills boost a child's self-confidence and motivation. As children master comprehension techniques, they feel more competent and willing to tackle new books or subjects, broadening their learning horizons.

Moreover, improving reading comprehension early can prevent future academic struggles. Children who lag in reading skills may find it challenging to keep up in higher grades, leading to potential frustration and disengagement from learning. By prioritizing reading comprehension now, parents and teachers lay the groundwork for a lifelong love of reading and a pathway to lifelong learning.
