Parents and teachers should prioritize improving reading skills and building vocabulary for children aged 6-9 because these foundational abilities are crucial for their academic success and cognitive development. During this critical period, children's brains are highly receptive to learning new words, and a strong vocabulary directly correlates with reading comprehension. When children can recognize and understand a wide range of words, they can more easily make sense of the sentences and stories they read, fostering a love of reading and learning.

Additionally, having a rich vocabulary aids in efficient communication, allowing children to express their ideas clearly and confidently in spoken and written forms. This competence is important not only for academic performance across all subjects but also for their social interactions, helping them to build relationships and work collaboratively.

Early intervention in reading and vocabulary also sets the stage for lifelong learning. Studies have shown that children proficient in reading by the third grade are more likely to succeed throughout their educational journey, reducing dropout rates and increasing higher education opportunities.

Therefore, investing time and strategies in enhancing reading skills and expanding vocabulary at this age sets a solid foundation for future educational successes and overall cognitive, social, and emotional development.
