Parents and teachers should prioritize improving reading skills for children aged 7 to 8 because this stage is critical for their cognitive and emotional development. At this age, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn, making literacy foundational for future academic success. Strong reading skills enhance comprehension, enabling children to absorb information across all subjects effectively.

Moreover, reading fosters imagination and creativity, helping children develop their emotional intelligence. It allows them to empathize with characters and situations, broadening their worldview. Increased reading proficiency also boosts self-esteem and confidence, encouraging a positive attitude towards learning and challenging tasks.

Furthermore, early literacy is closely linked to long-term educational outcomes. Children who struggle with reading in these early years often face continuous challenges, which can affect their overall performance in school. By investing time and resources in improving reading skills now, parents and teachers can promote a love for reading, set the groundwork for lifelong learning, and empower children to navigate their educational journeys smoothly.

Ultimately, fostering reading skills at this age not only supports academic growth but also helps cultivate a sense of curiosity and a love for literature, benefiting children throughout their lives.
