Phonics practice, particularly focusing on long vowels, is crucial for children aged 7-9 as they are reaching an important transitional phase in their reading development. Mastering long vowels helps children understand the relationships between sounds and letters, enhancing their ability to decode and encode words. At this stage, children are increasingly exposed to more complex texts, making phonics knowledge vital for improving their reading fluency and comprehension.

Regular practice with long vowel sounds—such as the various ways to spell these sounds (e.g., "ai," "ay," "ee," "ea")—supports children in becoming more confident readers and writers. Without a solid foundation in phonics, children may struggle with unfamiliar words and become frustrated, impairing their overall literacy experience.

Moreover, phonics practice fosters essential cognitive skills, including critical thinking and auditory discrimination. By engaging with long vowels through interactive games, songs, and reading activities, teachers and parents can create a supportive and stimulating environment for literacy development. When children can confidently tackle texts, they're more likely to develop a love for reading, paving the way for lifelong learning. Therefore, investing time in phonics practice isn't just beneficial; it's essential for enabling children to succeed in their academic journey.
