Reading practice is crucial for children aged 8-9 as it forms the foundation for their educational success and lifelong learning. At this age, children are transitioning from “learning to read” to “reading to learn,” making it essential to establish solid reading habits. Engaging in normal reading practice enhances vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills, enabling children to interpret information across various subjects effectively.

Furthermore, regular reading exposes children to diverse perspectives and experiences, fostering empathy and cultural awareness. It also boosts their confidence and enjoyment of literature, encouraging a love for reading that can influence their academic choices and personal growth in future years.

Parents and teachers play a vital role in nurturing this practice. They can provide appropriate materials, set aside reading time, and engage in discussions about the stories. Such involvement not only reinforces skills but also strengthens the bond between the adult and child, making reading a shared joy rather than a chore.

Additionally, children who read regularly tend to perform better academically, demonstrating a significant correlation between reading practice and overall school achievement. Therefore, prioritizing reading practice is not merely beneficial; it is essential for building competent, knowledgeable, and well-rounded individuals.
