Acquiring reading and literature skills in kindergarten is crucial for children's overall academic and cognitive development. Early exposure to reading fosters language acquisition, vocabulary growth, and comprehension skills. Engaging with literature stimulates imagination, creativity, and critical thinking, helping children understand and interpret the world around them. It also nurtures a love for books and lifelong learning. By developing these skills, children gain the ability to decode words, understand narratives, and follow instructions, which are essential for future academic success. Furthermore, reading together builds listening skills and strengthens the parent-child bond.
