Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics practice and normal letter recognition for children aged 4-9 because these foundational skills are critical for literacy development. Early exposure to phonics helps children understand the relationship between sounds and letters, enabling them to decode words effectively. This creates a strong base for reading fluency, comprehension, and overall academic success.

At this developmental stage, children are naturally curious and eager to learn, making it an ideal time to introduce phonics and letter recognition. Engaging in interactive activities, such as singing rhymes, play-based learning, and phonics games, fosters a positive attitude towards reading and enhances motivation.

Furthermore, mastering phonics contributes to a child's confidence in their reading abilities, preventing future setbacks as they progress in their education. Those who struggle with phonics may face challenges in more advanced literacy tasks, widening educational gaps.

By integrating structured phonics instruction and fun recognition experiences, both parents and teachers can create a rich, supportive environment essential for developing proficient readers. Investing attention in these areas ensures children are well-prepared for future academic challenges, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning and a love for reading.
