Parents and teachers should prioritize extra challenges in reading skills for children aged 5-9 because early literacy forms the foundation for future academic success and overall cognitive development. At this age, children's brains are particularly receptive to learning new skills. Introducing extra reading challenges can significantly enhance their vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking abilities. When children engage with more complex texts, they learn to make connections, infer meanings, and appreciate nuances, which are essential skills for higher-level thinking and academic achievement.

Moreover, fluency in reading is closely linked with proficiency in other areas, including writing, math, and science. A strong foundation in reading can make it easier for children to understand instructions, grasp new concepts, and perform well in various subjects. Kids who develop a love for reading are more likely to become lifelong learners and enjoy academic activities.

Reading challenges also boost confidence and independence. Overcoming difficult texts teaches perseverance and builds self-esteem, showing children that they can tackle tough tasks successfully. Lastly, by exceeding basic reading tasks, children can potentially identify personal interests and strengths early on, guiding further personalized learning pathways. Overall, more advanced reading exercises set the stage for long-term educational and personal growth.
