Parents and teachers should prioritize reading skills development for children aged 5 to 9 because this stage is crucial for establishing a strong foundation for lifelong learning. During these formative years, children typically learn to decode letters and words, which directly impacts their ability to communicate and comprehend more complex ideas later on. Strong reading skills not only enhance academic performance across subjects but also foster critical thinking and creativity.

Moreover, reading proficiency is linked to increased self-esteem and motivation. Children who can read well are more likely to engage with texts, which promotes a love for reading and curiosity about the world. This love for literature can translate into improved social skills, as discussions about books can enhance vocabulary and interpersonal communication.

Additionally, emerging literacy skills are closely tied to overall cognitive and emotional development. Early exposure to reading helps children better understand emotions and perspectives, cultivating empathy. For parents and teachers, investing in a child’s reading skills is imperative as it sets the stage for eventual academic success and personal growth. Providing access to diverse reading materials and fostering a positive reading environment can make a lasting difference in a child's educational journey and overall development.
