Parents and teachers should prioritize reading readiness and alphabet knowledge for children aged 4-6 because these skills form the foundation for future academic success and lifelong learning. At this developmental stage, children are rapidly acquiring language and cognitive abilities. Introducing them to the alphabet and basic reading concepts early on helps spark curiosity and build essential pre-reading skills.

First, knowing the alphabet and its associated sounds lays the groundwork for phonemic awareness, enabling children to decode words when learning to read. Second, early reading readiness fosters a love for reading, encouraging positive attitudes towards learning and school. Additionally, recognizing letters and simple words boosts children's confidence, leading to a stronger self-esteem.

Mastery of these skills at a young age also supports vocabulary development and enhances comprehension abilities, crucial for all subjects they will encounter in their educational journey. Teachers and parents play pivotal roles as they provide enriching, supportive environments that encourage practice through playful, engaging activities.

Ultimately, prioritizing reading readiness and alphabet knowledge for young children equips them with the critical tools needed for academic achievement, personal growth, and a lifelong love of learning, helping them succeed not only in school but in all future endeavors.
