Parents and teachers should prioritize reading skills, especially for children aged 4-8, because this foundational period significantly influences a child's cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reading helps young learners develop vocabulary, comprehension, and critical thinking skills, which are essential for success in all academic subjects. At this age, children are highly receptive to language, making it an ideal time to introduce them to the joys of reading.

Moreover, proficient reading skills can foster a lifelong love of learning. Engaging children with easy-to-read books boosts their confidence, encouraging them to express their thoughts and ideas verbally. This enhances their communication skills and promotes successful peer interactions. Positive early reading experiences also build resilience and a sense of achievement as children learn to navigate stories and understand new concepts.

Furthermore, reading at home and in the classroom promotes family engagement and social bonding. It provides opportunities for meaningful conversations and shared experiences, strengthening the parent-child or teacher-student relationship. Given that reading paves the way for future academic success and personal growth, it is vital for parents and teachers to invest time and resources into nurturing these essential skills. Creating a strong reading foundation promises bright futures for young learners.
