Why learning to read is so important for school readiness

According to a 2012 report by the Brookings Institution, “children with higher levels of school readiness at age five are generally more successful in grade school…” And the key to this readiness is helping your child learn to read before class even begins. Reading is the one skill that unlocks virtually all other skills your child will need to succeed in life.

We created Red Cat Reading to help any child get a leg up and learn how to read in just 3 months or less!

But before we get into the specifics of this incredibly simple and easy-to-use learning platform, let’s take a closer look at why exactly school readiness is so vital to your child’s long-term success.

3 Benefits of Knowing How to Read Before School Begins

#1: Less Likely to Fall Behind Peers in Studies

Children who begin school not knowing how to read are more likely to be behind their peers in critical skills by the end of the first year of school. And unless the problem is addressed quickly, the children who start school not knowing how to read will continue to lag behind their peers for years afterwards. So to help ensure school success, be sure your child knows how to read before classes ever start so they won’t fall behind and have to play “catch up”.

#2: Less Likely to Drop Out of High School

The high school dropout rate has soared in recent years and plunging literacy rates are a key factor. Children who begin their studies with a high degree of school readiness and the ability to read are significantly less likely to drop out of high school. There are several reasons that account for the lower drop out rat, including:

Easier to Make and Keep Friends: Knowing how to read reduces the likelihood that your child will withdraw from class activities and makes it easier to make and keep friends.
Improved Communication Skills: Reading helps with school readiness in many ways including better preparing your child for social situations through better communication skills. Books help children learn about and understand the world by providing them with contextual cues about social interactions, making friends, and dealing with setbacks.
More Likely to Succeed in School: When your child knows how to read before class begins, they are less likely to fall behind their peers academically or be tempted to drop out of school.

#3: Tend to Earn More as Adults

Studies indicate that students who know how to read as part of their school readiness actually earn more throughout their adult lives. So yes, what your child knows at age 5 can literally help determine how much they are making decades later. So it’s not just school success that depends on knowing how to read but overall success in life as well!
