Parents and teachers play vital roles in the early development of reading skills, which is crucial for a child's educational and personal growth. Fundamental reading skills developed in preschool set the stage for academic success, fostering a foundation for all future learning. Children with strong early reading abilities tend to excel in various subjects as they progress through school because reading is integral to comprehension and learning in science, math, social studies, and more.

Improving preschool reading skills also has significant social and emotional benefits. It promotes confidence, reducing the likelihood of children feeling behind or frustrated. When children experience the pleasure of stories and the empowerment of understanding print, they develop a positive attitude toward learning. This enthusiasm can continue throughout their educational journey.

Early reading proficiency contributes to better language acquisition, vocabulary development, and grammatical understanding. It helps children to articulate their thoughts clearly and improves listening skills, making them better communicators.

Since early learning experiences shape brain development, parents and teachers who prioritize reading can significantly impact a child's cognitive growth. Encouraging reading in preschool cultivates curiosity, imagination, and a love for lifelong learning, ultimately equipping children with essential skills to navigate and succeed in the world.
