Developing strong reading skills by the age of 5 is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, this foundational stage directly influences a child's future learning capabilities. Reading proficiency at an early age enhances vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking, which are essential for success in various academic subjects. Secondly, early reading skills set the stage for improved communication abilities. As children learn to read, they also become better at expressing themselves and understanding others, facilitating more effective social interactions.

Parents and teachers should also care about reading improvement because it cultivates a love of learning and curiosity. Exposing children to a variety of texts can ignite their imagination and boost creativity. Furthermore, literacy skills contribute significantly to a child's self-esteem and confidence. Mastery of reading by age 5 can make transitioning to formal schooling smoother, reducing potential frustration and enhancing a child's overall academic experience.

Moreover, early reading habits often extend beyond the classroom. Engaging with books can be a source of comfort and entertainment, fostering a lifelong passion for reading and learning. Thus, parents and teachers play a pivotal role in prioritizing and nurturing a child's reading abilities to lay a solid foundation for holistic development and lifelong success.
