Parents and teachers should prioritize problem-solving skills in reading for ages 7-9 because these skills are foundational to a child’s cognitive development and future academic success. At this age, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. By enhancing their problem-solving abilities through engaging texts and discussions, educators can help students interpret information, draw conclusions, and make connections between ideas.

Developing problem-solving skills in reading promotes critical thinking, allowing children to analyze characters' motivations, predict outcomes, and evaluate solutions within stories. This not only increases comprehension but also encourages creativity and resilience, empowering children to tackle challenges both in literature and in real life.

Moreover, fostering an environment of inquiry where students can ask questions and explore different perspectives cultivates a love for reading and learning. By guiding children to decipher complex texts and navigate plots, parents and teachers can help nurture confident, independent readers who are equipped for more advanced learning.

In summary, focusing on problem-solving skills in reading fosters essential intellectual attributes, supports overall literacy development, and equips children to engage meaningfully with their world, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning.
