Determining and supporting a child's reading level is essential for several reasons:
- Cognitive Development: Reading is closely tied to cognitive skills. A higher reading level can indicate advanced cognitive abilities. - Academic Achievement: Reading proficiency is a strong predictor of academic success. Children who read at or above their grade level are more likely to perform well in school. - Language Skills: Reading enhances vocabulary, grammar, and overall language development. - Emotional and Social Development: Reading can improve empathy, social understanding, and emotional regulation through exposure to diverse characters and situations.
