Parents and teachers should care deeply about reading practice for 9-year-olds because this age is a crucial developmental stage for literacy skills. At 9 years old, children are transitioning from "learning to read" to "reading to learn," meaning they're beginning to use reading to acquire new information across all subjects. Encouraging regular reading practices during this time can significantly enhance their vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills.

Reading at this age also promotes cognitive development by stimulating various brain functions, including memory, concentration, and imagination. Additionally, it helps improve emotional intelligence, as children exposed to diverse stories and characters can better understand various perspectives and emotions. This strengthens their empathy and social skills, aiding them in real-world interactions.

For parents and teachers, fostering a love for reading can also be an immensely rewarding experience. It opens up avenues for meaningful conversations and strengthens relationships through shared reading activities. Moreover, academic success in later years is closely linked to strong reading abilities acquired in early years. Thus, prioritizing reading practice for 9-year-olds sets the foundation not just for scholastic achievement but for lifelong learning and personal growth.
