Reading proficiency for children aged 7-8 is crucial, as this age marks a vital transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." When children achieve reading proficiency by this age, they are better equipped to absorb information across various subjects, enhancing their overall academic performance. Reading ability also fosters critical thinking, comprehension skills, and vocabulary development, laying a strong foundation for future learning.

Parents and teachers should care about reading proficiency because it directly impacts a child's self-esteem and confidence. Children who read well are more likely to engage with texts and participate in classroom discussions, while struggles with reading can lead to frustration and a negative attitude toward school. Early identification of reading difficulties enables timely intervention, which can prevent long-term academic challenges.

Moreover, reading proficiency at ages 7-8 is linked to lifelong learning habits. Children who develop a love for reading are more likely to pursue knowledge independently and appreciate various topics throughout their lives. In an increasingly information-driven world, reading skills are essential for success in education, employment, and societal participation. Therefore, supporting reading proficiency during this formative stage is crucial for fostering capable, confident learners.
