Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics skills and normal reading comprehension for children aged 3-9 as these elements create the foundation for successful literacy development. Phonics refers to the ability to recognize and understand the relationship between letters and sounds. Teaching phonics equips children with the skills to decode words, which is essential for reading fluency. Mastery of phonics allows children to tackle new words independently, fostering confidence and encouraging a love for reading.

Additionally, developing normal reading comprehension skills plays a crucial role in ensuring that children not only decode words but also grasp their meaning. Understanding the content is key to building general knowledge, critical thinking, and the ability to make connections between texts and the real world.

Research shows that children who receive phonics instruction often demonstrate better reading abilities and overall academic success. When parents and teachers collaborate to support these skills—instead of rushing through grades or methods—they create an enriching, enjoyable learning environment. Early investment in phonics and comprehension paves the way for lifelong literacy, ensuring that children are both competent readers and engaged learners. Ultimately, fostering these skills helps set the stage for future academic achievement and personal growth.
