Parents and teachers should emphasize the importance of reading practice, particularly through non-fiction, for children aged 5-9 for several compelling reasons. Firstly, this critical developmental period lays the foundation for lifelong learning. Young children are naturally curious, and non-fiction text provides them with valuable opportunities to explore and understand the world around them, fostering a love for learning.

Reading non-fiction enhances comprehension and critical thinking skills. Unlike fictional stories, non-fiction exposes children to factual information, increasing their knowledge base and supporting cognitive development. It helps build vocabulary and introduces children to a variety of text structures and elements, such as graphs, indexes, and captions, making them versatile readers.

Moreover, non-fiction reading cultivates information literacy, a critical skill in our information-rich society. Children learn to differentiate between factual information and opinions, understand the nature of sources, and begin to ask discerning questions about the material they encounter.

Supporting children in reading non-fiction also aligns with many educational standards and curricula. Science, history, and other subjects require comprehension of informational text, making early exposure beneficial for academic success.

Encouraging reading practice through non-fiction texts at an early age sets children on a path toward becoming informed, critical thinkers and successful learners. Thus, both parents and teachers play a pivotal role in cultivating these formative skills through regular, engaged reading practice.
