Reading proficiency for ages 7-9 is crucial as it lays the foundation for a child's future learning and overall academic success. At this age, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn, acquiring essential skills that will support their understanding of complex subjects in later grades. Proficient reading abilities empower children to decode words, comprehend texts, and build vocabularies, which are critical for effective communication and critical thinking.

Parents and teachers should care about reading proficiency during this developmental stage because children who struggle with reading often face challenges across various disciplines. Early intervention can prevent later academic difficulties, ensuring that children remain engaged and confident in their learning. Additionally, proficient readers are more likely to enjoy literature, fostering a lifelong love for books, and promoting better social and emotional development. Supportive reading environments, characterized by guidance and resources, significantly enhance children's linguistic capabilities.

Moreover, reading proficiency is linked to better academic performance, increased creativity, and higher self-esteem. By prioritizing reading development in this age group, parents and teachers create a nurturing foundation that equips children with vital skills necessary for success in school and beyond.
