Parents and teachers should care about reading skills and writing for 8-year-olds because these competencies are foundational for academic success and lifelong learning. By this age, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. Strong reading skills enhance comprehension and critical thinking, which are essential for success in all subject areas. When children can easily decode text, they can engage deeply with challenging material, contributing to their knowledge and creativity.

Moreover, writing skills are equally important. At this age, children should begin to express their thoughts clearly and coherently. Writing helps develop their ability to articulate ideas, improves organizational skills, and nurtures self-expression. Children who write can better communicate their understanding and perspective.

Furthermore, proficient reading and writing nurture a love for stories and the written word, setting the stage for lifelong literacy and learning habits. They also foster confidence; children who read and write well are more willing to participate in discussions and share their ideas. Ultimately, prioritizing reading and writing skills not only supports academic achievements but also nurtures well-rounded, confident individuals prepared to contribute to society effectively. Parents and teachers play a crucial role in cultivating these essential skills.
