Word association reading is a valuable tool for children aged 7-9 as it significantly enhances their literacy development. At this critical stage, kids transition from recognizing words to comprehending texts, expanding their vocabulary, and improving their cognitive abilities. By engaging in word associations, children learn to connect words with meanings, contexts, and related concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of language.

For parents and teachers, supporting word association exercises helps in making reading a more enriching and enjoyable experience. This method encourages young readers to think creatively and enhances their ability to infer meanings, predict outcomes, and grasp the nuances of different topics. Moreover, it develops their critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they discern connections between words and ideas.

Incorporating word association games and activities stimulates a child's interest and engagement in reading. When children see the relation between new words and familiar ones, they are more likely to retain and use new vocabulary in their daily communication. Thus, investing time and effort in word association reading activities will cultivate not only a stronger, more versatile vocabulary but also instill a lifelong love for reading and learning.

Parents and teachers should therefore emphasize word association practices, recognizing their role in building the essential foundation of literacy and cognitive development.
