Reading proficiency by the end of Grade 2 is crucial for several reasons. At this stage, young learners transition from 'learning to read' to 'reading to learn,' a shift fundamental for all future academic success. If children cannot read proficiently by Grade 2, they will struggle to understand textbooks and other learning materials, impeding progress in all subjects.

Early reading skills build a foundation for vocabulary development, comprehension, and critical thinking. Proficient readers in Grade 2 are more likely to enjoy reading, fostering a positive attitude towards learning. This engagement extends beyond academics, promoting lifelong learning and curiosity.

When parents and teachers focus on achieving reading proficiency, they can identify and provide interventions for struggling readers early. This proactive approach minimizes the risk of children falling behind, which can lead to decreased self-esteem and disengagement from school.

Moreover, academic research indicates a strong correlation between early reading skills and future academic achievements, reducing the likelihood of high school dropout rates and opening doors to better career opportunities. Therefore, by ensuring Grade 2 students are proficient in reading, parents and teachers are setting the stage for their long-term educational success and personal development.
