    ... 7 8

    Parents and teachers should prioritize normal reading comprehension for ages 6-8 because this developmental stage lays the foundation for a child’s academic success and lifelong learning. At this age, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn, making comprehension skills crucial as they encounter more complex texts across subjects.

    Effective reading comprehension enables children to understand and engage with the material, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. When children grasp the content, they become more enthusiastic about reading, leading to improved vocabulary and communication skills. These abilities are essential not only for literacy but also for developing social skills and emotional intelligence, as literature often provides insights into diverse perspectives.

    Furthermore, strong comprehension skills correlate with higher academic performance. Children who struggle with understanding what they read may face challenges in all areas of study, potentially leading to frustration and disengagement. Early intervention, whether through supportive home practices or tailored school programs, can address comprehension issues, ensuring that children remain confident and motivated learners.

    Therefore, by nurturing reading comprehension, parents and teachers equip children with the tools needed for success, empowering them to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners.
