Critical thinking skills are essential for children aged 7 to 9, as these abilities form the foundation for lifelong learning and problem-solving. At this age, students are developing cognitive skills that will significantly impact their academic performance and personal development. Parents and teachers should prioritize fostering critical thinking in reading because it helps children to analyze texts more deeply, draw connections, and evaluate ideas.

When children engage critically with what they read, they learn to question the motivations of characters, assess the credibility of the information presented, and differentiate between facts and opinions. This analytical approach enhances comprehension, enabling them to retain and apply knowledge more effectively. Moreover, fostering critical thinking encourages children to express their thoughts and opinions confidently, encouraging conversations both at home and in the classroom.

Furthermore, strong critical thinking skills promote creativity, as children learn to approach problems from various angles. Such skills are invaluable for navigating an increasingly complex world, allowing children to become responsible, engaged citizens. Therefore, by emphasizing critical thinking in reading activities and discussions, parents and teachers equip children with the tools necessary to think independently and make informed decisions throughout their lives.
