Parents and teachers should prioritize fostering analytical thinking and normal reading of fiction for children aged 7-9 because it sets a critical foundational stage for lifelong cognitive and emotional skills. This age is pivotal for developing cognitive abilities, and engaging with fiction hones children's analytical thinking by encouraging them to think critically about narratives, characters, and plot developments. Such skills are essential not just in academic success but in everyday problem-solving and decision-making.

Reading fiction at a normal, consistent pace also enhances children's comprehension abilities and empathy. Fiction typically introduces children to a variety of characters and viewpoints, helping them understand different perspectives and emotions. This empathetic understanding is crucial for social interactions and emotional intelligence.

Moreover, regular reading habits contribute significantly to vocabulary expansion and language skills. Children regularly exposed to well-written stories enhance their language comprehension, articulate better, and develop sophisticated ways to express themselves. Fiction serves as a gateway to creativity and imagination, fueling a child’s creative thinking and leading to more innovative ideas.

Altogether, these critical skills gained through reading fiction—analytical thinking, empathy, language development, and creativity—are invaluable in shaping well-rounded, capable, and thoughtful individuals. Hence, encouraging children to read fiction thoughtfully in these early years is an investment in their holistic future development.
