Parents and teachers should prioritize comprehension skills in reading non-fiction for children aged 7-9, as these skills form a foundation for academic success and lifelong learning. At this developmental stage, children are increasingly exposed to factual texts in various subjects, including science, social studies, and health. Strong comprehension skills enable children to grasp key ideas, identify themes, and discern facts from opinions, fostering critical thinking.

Non-fiction reading helps children expand their vocabulary and gain knowledge across diverse topics, fueling curiosity and engaging their imagination. Furthermore, comprehension skills encourage children to connect new information to their existing knowledge, enhancing their ability to retain and apply what they've learned.

Additionally, strong reading comprehension lays the groundwork for effective articulation andwriting skills. By understanding and interpreting non-fiction texts, children also become better at summarizing ideas and discussing them meaningfully.

Beyond academics, strong comprehension skills promote more informed, active citizenship as children learn about real-world issues. Ultimately, supporting the development of these skills equips children with the tools necessary for success both in school and in future endeavors, instilling a love for reading and learning that transcends the classroom.
