Critical thinking and reading comprehension are vital skills for children aged 7-9, and parents or teachers should prioritize these areas for several reasons. Firstly, this developmental stage is crucial for shaping a child's cognitive abilities. Encouraging critical thinking enables children to analyze information, question assumptions, and make reasoned decisions. This not only boosts their academic performance but also prepares them for complex problem-solving in everyday life.

Furthermore, reading comprehension goes beyond mere understanding of text; it involves engaging with content, making inferences, and drawing connections to real-world scenarios. When children develop strong reading skills accompanied by critical thought, they become active and reflective learners. This lays the groundwork for higher-order thinking skills, such as synthesis and evaluation, which are necessary as children progress in their education.

Moreover, fostering these skills fosters curiosity and a love for learning. Children who think critically and comprehend well are more likely to engage with their studies and develop a passion for reading, which contributes to lifelong learning. In a world overflowing with information, the ability to assess and interpret data becomes increasingly important, equipping children not just for school, but for informed citizenship in a complex society.
