Parents and teachers should prioritize comprehension skills in non-fiction reading for children ages 5-9, as these abilities lay the foundation for lifelong learning. At this stage, children are not just learning to read, but also reading to learn. Comprehension skills help them understand the concepts and information presented in texts, fostering curiosity and critical thinking. Non-fiction materials expose children to a wide range of topics, enhancing their knowledge and vocabulary, which are crucial for academic success.

Developing comprehension skills enhances children's ability to engage with factual content, formulate questions, and draw connections between what they read and the world around them. This not only promotes better understanding in subjects like science and history but also empowers children to become informed citizens as they grow. Additionally, strong comprehension skills can boost confidence, as children develop a sense of accomplishment in grasping complex ideas.

Encouraging comprehension through interactive discussions, guiding questions, and summarization activities enriches the reading experience and helps parents and teachers identify areas where additional support may be needed. Ultimately, fostering comprehension skills equips children with essential tools for their educational journey and instills a love for reading that can last a lifetime.
