Reading skill refers to the ability to understand
written text. It is advisable to develop this skill at
early age of schooling. When students
comprehend or understand written text, and
combine their understanding with prior
knowledge, they are able to perform the following
three reading-comprehension skills.
1. Identify simple facts presented in written text
(literal comprehension)
2. Make judgments about the written text’s
content (evaluative comprehension)
3. Connect the text to other written passages and
situations (inferential comprehension)
The development of these reading skills is vital
to children’s development, and a sheer volume of
studies has demonstrated a link between
competency in reading and overall attainment in
school (literacy attainment and other outcomes).
According to OCED’s report on reading for
change, program for International Student
Assessment (PISA): “Reading for pleasure is
more important for children’s educational
success than their family’s socioeconomic
status.” Besides, there are some other key
benefits of engaging children in reading from the
early age. This is so because the development of
reading is a key to future success both in school
and in life. By supporting children to read in their
leisure time at every age, parents can help to
ensure that children are equipped with the
necessary skills to succeed in later life.
