This age group is especially receptive to intervention, as enjoys exploring stories and ideas, making this an ideal time to cultivate a love for reading and deep comprehension skills.

Teachers and parents play a vital role in this developmental stage. They can use interactive reading strategies, engaging discussions about stories, and diverse reading materials to promote deeper understanding and motivation. Encouraging questions about texts will help children develop curiosity and a desire to learn more. Ultimately, enhancing reading comprehension at this formative age not only supports academic achievement but also instills a lifelong passion for reading, setting children on a path towards success in school and beyond.
