Parents and teachers should value historical knowledge and encourage normal reading of non-fiction for children ages 7-9, as it lays a vital foundation for their academic and personal development. At this age, children are naturally curious and ready to explore the world beyond their immediate surroundings. Teaching history through engaging, age-appropriate non-fiction helps them understand the broader context of their own lives.

Historical knowledge fosters critical thinking and analytical skills by allowing children to examine cause and effect, understand different perspectives, and develop informed opinions. It also cultivates empathy as they learn about the lives and struggles of people from the past. Furthermore, a well-rounded historical understanding enhances cultural awareness and global citizenship, promoting respect for diversity.

Reading non-fiction supports literacy development, expanding vocabulary and comprehension skills. Unlike fictional stories, non-fiction requires children to process factual information, boosting their cognitive abilities and reasoning. This genre introduces them to structured, expository writing, which is prevalent in academic settings.

By prioritizing historical knowledge and non-fiction reading, parents and teachers are empowering children to become well-informed, empathetic, and thoughtful individuals. It not only enriches their education but also shapes them into capable and conscientious members of society.
