Sound-letter association, or phonemic awareness, is a fundamental skill for young children between the ages of 3-8. Parents and teachers should prioritize it because it forms the foundation of reading and writing. In the early years, children are naturally primed to absorb languages, and mastering the connection between letters and their sounds can significantly enhance literacy development.

Understanding sound-letter association helps children decode new words, which boosts their reading confidence and fluency. When children know that the letter "b" makes the "buh" sound, they can start blending sounds to form words like "bat" or "ball." This skill is essential for comprehension, as it enables kids to recognize words quickly and read without stumbling.

Moreover, strong phonemic awareness supports spelling skills. Children who can associate letters with a particular sound are more likely to spell words correctly, making their writing more understandable and effective.

Lastly, literacy is linked to academic success across all subjects. Early proficiency in reading and writing equips children with the tools they need for understanding math problems, grasping scientific concepts, and engaging with social studies materials. By focusing on sound-letter associations, parents and teachers set children on the path for future learning and lifelong curiosity.
