Parents and teachers should prioritize story comprehension in preschoolers' reading of fiction for several compelling reasons. First, story comprehension nurtures critical thinking skills. Children learn to analyze narratives, identify key elements like characters and settings, and comprehend plot development. These skills lay a strong foundation for future literacy and academic success.

Second, understanding stories enhances emotional and social development. Fiction often presents characters facing conflicts or challenges, providing young readers an opportunity to engage with different emotions and perspectives. This engagement fosters empathy and helps children navigate their own feelings and social interactions.

Moreover, story comprehension is linked to language development. As children understand stories, they expand their vocabulary and learn about sentence structure and storytelling conventions. These linguistic skills are crucial for effective communication and later academic achievement.

Lastly, enjoying story comprehension instills a lifelong love of reading. When children connect with stories, they are more likely to seek out books, explore new ideas, and continue learning—benefiting their overall cognitive and emotional development. Thus, supporting story comprehension in preschool settings enriches children's educational experiences and prepares them for successful futures.
