Parents and teachers should prioritize building comprehension skills about plants and animals for 7-year-olds because it establishes a strong foundation for early science education and critical thinking. At this age, children are naturally curious about the world around them, and understanding basic concepts about living organisms helps them make sense of their environment. Comprehension skills in this area encourage observation, asking questions, and making connections, which are essential components of scientific inquiry.

Moreover, knowledge of plants and animals promotes an appreciation for nature and the interconnectedness of ecosystems. This can foster a sense of responsibility and empathy towards the environment from a young age, leading to environmentally responsible behavior in the future.

On a cognitive level, learning about plants and animals can enhance reading and comprehension abilities. For example, reading about animals’ habitats or the life cycle of plants involves understanding sequences, cause and effect, and vocabulary development. Discussions and activities related to these topics also improve communication and language skills.

Emotionally and socially, studying plants and animals often involves hands-on activities and group work, which can strengthen teamwork skills and build confidence. Thus, parents and teachers play a vital role in nurturing well-rounded, curious, and informed individuals by focusing on these essential comprehension skills during early childhood.
