Phonics skills development is crucial for children aged 7-8 as it lays the foundation for proficient reading and writing. At this age, many children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. A strong grasp of phonics—the relationship between sounds and letters—helps children decode new words, improving their ability to read fluently and comprehend texts across various subjects.

As children encounter more complex vocabulary and sentences, robust phonics skills enable them to approach reading with confidence, fostering a love for literature and enhancing overall academic achievement. Moreover, effective phonics instruction can address potential reading difficulties early on, mitigating the risk of future struggles that can affect self-esteem and motivation in learning.

Teachers and parents play a significant role in supporting phonics development by providing engaging and diverse reading experiences that incorporate phonics practice, thereby encouraging a strategic approach to learning new words. Phonics cascading-effect prompts healthy literacy habits essential for future success. By prioritizing phonics, parents and teachers contribute to developing critical cognitive skills, ensuring children are well-equipped to tackle educational challenges and thrive in their learning journeys. Engaging with phonics ultimately supports holistic development and a lifelong love of reading.
