Sound-letter association is a crucial foundational skill for readers aged 4-6. Understanding this concept allows children to connect phonemes (sounds) with their corresponding graphemes (letters or groups of letters), facilitating early literacy development. Parents and teachers should prioritize sound-letter associations because they form the basis for decoding skills, which are vital for reading proficiency.

When children learn to recognize and manipulate sounds in words, they become better equipped to sound out unfamiliar words. This skill not only boosts their reading abilities but also enhances their confidence in literacy tasks. Additionally, sound-letter association encourages vocabulary expansion and spelling accuracy, essential components of linguistic development.

In a time when early reading skills are pivotal for academic success, fostering sound-letter associations can help reduce frustrations children may face while learning to read. Engaging in playful activities like rhyming games, letter sound songs, and interactive phonics games can make this learning enjoyable and effective.

Moreover, proficiency in sound-letter association can pave the way for later academic achievements across subjects. By nurturing these skills at an early age, parents and teachers set the stage for lifelong learning and effective communication, ultimately supporting children's cognitive growth and self-esteem.
