Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of analytical skills through normal reading of fiction for children aged 4-7, as it plays a pivotal role in their cognitive and emotional development. Engaging young minds with stories helps enhance their ability to think critically and make sense of the world around them. Fiction allows children to explore diverse perspectives and understand complex characters, fostering empathy and a deeper comprehension of human behavior and emotions.

At this crucial stage, children's brains are especially adaptable, making it an ideal time to develop these vital skills. Analyzing story elements such as plot, setting, and character motivations during reading sessions helps sharpen young minds' analytical abilities. This lays a solid foundation for more advanced comprehension and reasoning skills needed in later academic tasks.

Furthermore, reading fiction stimulates imagination and creativity, along with boosting vocabulary and language skills. Rich, descriptive narratives provide context for new words and ideas, helping children to articulate thoughts and express themselves more clearly.

In sum, parents and teachers should value the role of analytical skills in early reading because it cultivates not only academic readiness but also emotional intelligence and social awareness, partnering to develop well-rounded, thoughtful, and imaginative individuals.
