Sound-letter association is a critical component of early literacy for children aged 3-5. This fundamental skill enables young learners to connect the sounds they hear in spoken language with their corresponding letters and symbols, laying the groundwork for effective reading and writing.

Parents and teachers should care about sound-letter association because it directly influences a child's reading readiness. When children understand that specific sounds correspond to specific letters, they develop phonemic awareness—the ability to hear, recognize, and manipulate sounds. This understanding is essential for decoding words, which is the first step towards reading fluency.

Moreover, early proficiency in sound-letter association fosters confidence in young learners. When children can decode words successfully, they are more likely to engage with reading materials. This engagement promotes a love for reading, which is crucial in their educational journey.

In the preschool years, sparking curiosity and enjoyment around letters and sounds can lead to long-lasting positive attitudes toward learning. By prioritizing sound-letter association activities—through songs, games, and storytelling—parents and teachers equip children with essential skills that not only support immediate literacy development but also contribute to their overall academic success in the years to come.
