Enhancing reading comprehension in Grade 1 science is crucial for building a strong foundation in both literacy and scientific understanding. At this age, children are developing critical cognitive skills and forming habits that can influence their future learning. Reading comprehension goes beyond recognizing words; it involves understanding and interpreting the meaning of the text, which is essential for all subjects, including science.

First, in science education, comprehension skills enable students to grasp fundamental concepts, follow instructions, and engage with content meaningfully. Grade 1 science often introduces basic topics such as plants, animals, weather, and the human body, which are essential for understanding the world. If children can comprehend these topics, they are more likely to develop curiosity and a positive attitude towards learning.

Second, strong reading skills support overall academic success. When children successfully understand what they read, they build confidence and a desire to learn more. This interconnection between reading and comprehension enriches vocabulary, enhances critical thinking, and improves communication skills.

Lastly, early intervention has long-lasting benefits. When parents and teachers focus on enhancing reading comprehension from the start, they set the stage for independent learning and foster a love for reading. Supporting young learners in Grade 1 can significantly impact their educational trajectory, leading to more capable, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic learners.
