Parents and teachers play a crucial role in the reading development of children aged 7-8, making attention to phonics particularly significant. At this formative stage, phonics provides the foundation for mastering the relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds—a critical skill for fluent reading. Understanding phonics equips children with an essential toolkit for decoding new words, which is a pivotal step toward independent reading and comprehension.

Early phonics instruction helps children to break down words into their constituent parts or phonemes, making it easier to spell and read more complex words as their vocabulary expands. By learning phonics, children become more confident readers, which in turn fosters a love of learning and can contribute to academic success across all subjects. Proficiency in phonics not only boosts reading fluency but also enhances the ability to understand and critically engage with the text.

Moreover, consistent support in phonics from both parents and teachers provides a cohesive and supportive reading environment. When children see reading as a pleasurable and shared activity, they are more likely to develop a lifelong love of reading. This spans further into advanced literacy skills, including writing and speaking, forming bedrock for their overall academic journey and future learning endeavors.
