Parents and teachers should prioritize reading skills for children aged 3-4 because these foundational abilities set the stage for future academic success and lifelong learning. At this young age, children's brains are highly receptive to language, making it the perfect time to foster early reading skills. Engaging children in reading helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and phonemic awareness, all vital components of literacy.

Reading together emphasizes the importance of language in everyday communication. It fosters curiosity, nurtures a love for books, and creates an enriching bonding experience between adults and children. Additionally, practicing story comprehension boosts cognitive development and enhances critical thinking.

Moreover, early reading skills can lead to improved social and emotional development as children learn to navigate stories, understand characters’ emotions, and develop empathy. Teachers and parents can use books as tools to introduce diverse concepts, culture, and perspectives, promoting inclusivity.

Investing time into reading with children can significantly reduce later academic struggles, fostering confident, articulate, and empathetic individuals. Ultimately, making reading a focus in these formative years nurtures not just literacy but also a lifelong passion for learning and exploration.
