One of the key milestones in a child’s reading journey is the phase when the child is beginning to read independently. Parents often wonder about the appropriate age to introduce their child to reading independently. While each child is unique, the age range of 5 to 7 years old is generally considered ideal for beginning this journey. At this stage, since children have typically developed some foundational language and cognitive skills, they can move to phonics books and then progress on to other beginner and advanced reading books step by step.
