Reading readiness is the stage where children develop the skills necessary to begin learning to read. For ages 6-8, fostering Reading readiness is crucial due to several key reasons.

Firstly, this developmental period is formative in establishing foundational literacy skills. If children become proficient in their reading skills early, it is easier for them to progress academically. Difficulty in reading can hinder their ability to understand subjects such as math, science, and social studies because most learning materials are text-based.

Secondly, early reading abilities correlate strongly with future academic success. Children who can read well are more likely to excel in school, fostering positive self-esteem and a love of learning.

Additionally, reading enhances cognitive development. It expands vocabulary, improves language skills, and enhances concentration. Reading also enables children to make sense of the world around them and nurtures imagination and creativity.

Finally, by promoting reading readiness, parents and teachers can identify and address any learning difficulties early on. Early intervention can prevent minor issues from becoming significant obstacles later in life.

Encouraging reading at this age sets the stage for lifelong learning, equipping children with the intellectual tools they need for academic and personal success. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize developing reading readiness for children aged 6-8.
