Parents and teachers play a critical role in the development of children’s moral understanding and reading comprehension, especially in the crucial ages of 7-9. At this developmental stage, children are beginning to form a sense of right and wrong and are becoming more aware of the impact of their actions on others. Stories with moral lessons help children grasp key ethical principles such as fairness, honesty, and kindness. When children read or listen to stories and discuss them, they improve their ability to empathize with different characters, thus enhancing their social and emotional intelligence.

Simultaneously, these activities bolster their reading comprehension skills, which are foundational for academic success. Engaging with diverse texts broadens children's vocabularies, exposes them to new concepts, and hones their critical thinking abilities. By asking questions about the motives, feelings, and actions of characters, children learn to make inferences and draw conclusions, propelling their understanding and interpretation of stories.

Therefore, focusing on moral understanding in reading comprehension not only cultivates a well-rounded individual but also prepares students to navigate their academic and social worlds more effectively. It encourages a holistic approach where cognitive skills go hand in hand with emotional and moral development, creating a strong foundation for future learning and interpersonal relationships.
