Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of reading comprehension skills for children aged 3-6 because these early years are foundational for cognitive, linguistic, and social growth. Reading comprehension goes beyond simply deciphering words; it involves understanding and processing the meaning of text, which is crucial for academic success and lifelong learning.

Firstly, strong comprehension skills enable children to make sense of the world around them. When they understand stories or informational texts, they can relate the content to their own experiences, fostering curiosity and a love for learning. This early engagement with books can also enhance vocabulary, sentence structure, and language patterns, laying a solid groundwork for future literacy.

Additionally, comprehension skills help develop critical thinking. When young children begin to predict outcomes, infer meanings, and ask questions about the text, they are also practicing problem-solving and analytical thinking, which are indispensable skills in every subject area.

Socially and emotionally, comprehension involves empathy and perspective-taking. By understanding characters' feelings and motivations in stories, children learn to empathize and understand different viewpoints. This can significantly contribute to their emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.

In summary, investing time and resources in nurturing reading comprehension for ages 3-6 can have lasting benefits on a child's academic journey and overall development, making it a crucial aspect of early education.
