Reading development between the ages of 3 and 7 is critical as it lays the foundation for a child’s literacy skills, cognitive development, and overall academic success. During these formative years, children's brains are highly receptive to language, making it an ideal period for them to learn the alphabet and phonetic sounds. Mastering the normal alphabet at this stage empowers children to decode words, understand their meanings, and ultimately develop a love for reading.

Parents and teachers play a pivotal role in this process. Engaging children through interactive reading, alphabet games, songs, and storytelling cultivates curiosity and enthusiasm for literature. Furthermore, establishing a structured yet fun learning environment fosters children's confidence and eases any fear associated with reading.

Caring about reading development also promotes essential skills such as critical thinking, comprehension, and communication, which are instrumental in a child's future learning journey. Neglecting this vital stage may result in challenges later on, leading to difficulties in schooling and affecting overall self-esteem. Therefore, an early emphasis on reading, starting with a solid understanding of the normal alphabet, is invaluable, creating lifelong learners and confident individuals.
