Parents and teachers should pay special attention to the development of sound association and recognizing normal beginning sounds for children aged 3-7 because it is fundamental to early literacy skills. At this critical stage, children are like sponges, rapidly absorbing and learning new information. Understanding and identifying beginning sounds in words helps children develop phonemic awareness, which is a crucial building block for reading.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in words. This skill is directly linked to later reading success; children who can recognize and differentiate sounds are more likely to decode new words. They also become more adept in their spelling abilities, facilitating clearer written communication.

Early engagement with sound associations makes learning to read an enjoyable and confidence-building activity. Activities such as matching pictures with beginning sounds (e.g., identifying that 'cat' starts with a 'c' sound) can turn phonemic lessons into fun and interactive experiences.

Furthermore, sound association skills aid in speech development. Children learn to enunciate correctly, leading to clearer communication and less frustration for both the child and listener. This not only supports academic learning but also social interaction.

Therefore, fostering sound association and phonemic awareness prepares children for future academic success and encourages lifelong learning habits.
