Sound-letter association is a foundational skill in the journey of literacy, making it crucial for parents and teachers to prioritize its development among children aged 4 to 7. This skill, often developed through methods like the Normal Alphabet, is the ability to connect sounds (phonemes) with their corresponding letters (graphemes). It paves the way for successful reading and writing experiences.

When children grasp sound-letter associations, they can decode new words by sounding them out, a process critical for beginning readers. This ability not only boosts reading fluency but also enhances comprehension because children no longer struggle with identifying words on the page. Additionally, sound-letter recognition accelerates word recognition skills, leading to more confident and independent readers.

Furthermore, strong sound-letter association skills underpin accurate spelling. When children understand that letters represent specific sounds, they can better predict spelling patterns and tackle spelling uncertainties. This knowledge mitigates common spelling errors, promotes clearer writing, and makes self-correction easier.

For young learners, this foundation also fuels a positive attitude toward literacy. Early success in reading and writing fosters enthusiasm, motivation, and a continued interest in learning, all of which contribute to long-term academic success. Therefore, focusing on sound-letter association during formative years is essential for setting the stage for lifelong literacy and learning.
