Sound association, also known as phonemic awareness, is crucial for early reading skills in children aged 5-6. At this stage, kids are developing the foundation necessary for fluent reading. Parents and teachers should prioritize this aspect because the ability to connect sounds with letters is the bedrock of reading competency.

First, understanding sound association aids children in decoding new words, making reading less frustrating and more enjoyable. Without this skill, kids are likely to face difficulties in identifying unfamiliar words, potentially causing them to fall behind.

Secondly, early mastery of phonemic awareness can prevent future literacy issues. When children understand how to blend sounds to form words, they're less likely to struggle with spelling and writing. Consequently, they gain confidence in their academic abilities, fostering a more positive attitude towards school.

Furthermore, proficiency in sound association promotes better comprehension. By quickly decoding words, children can focus more on the meaning of the text, enhancing their understanding and retention of the material they read.

Investing time in developing phonemic awareness is a proactive step. It sets the stage for successful reading experiences, ensuring that children have a solid literacy foundation, which is essential for their academic journey and lifelong learning.
