Letter-sound association, also known as phonemic awareness, is fundamental for early literacy development, and parents and teachers should prioritize it for children ages 3-6. This skill allows children to understand that letters and groups of letters represent the sounds of spoken language. Mastering this concept is critical for learning to read and spell words effectively.

For parents, fostering letter-sound associations at home helps create a supportive environment that complements classroom learning. Engaging in activities like reading aloud, playing phonics games, and using educational apps can make the learning process enjoyable and impactful for children.

Teachers, on the other hand, play a central role by incorporating structured phonics instruction into the curriculum. Methods like singing alphabet songs, reading books with repetitive sounds, and using flashcards can improve children's ability to recognize the relationship between letters and sounds.

Through understanding letter-sound associations, children develop decoding skills essential for reading fluency. This foundation also aids in building more complex literacy skills such as comprehension and writing. Consequently, prioritizing this aspect of early literacy equips children with the necessary tools for academic success and instills a lifelong love for learning and reading. This should underscore its significance for both teachers and parents in the formative years of a child's education.
