Parents and teachers should prioritize sound differentiation, specifically with normal vowels, for children aged 6-7 because it is fundamental to literacy development. At this age, children are at a critical stage for acquiring phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes in spoken words. Mastering normal vowels helps children decode words and improves their spelling and reading fluency.

Difficulties with vowel sounds can lead to challenges in reading and writing, which might cause frustration and decreased confidence. By focusing on sound differentiation, educators can enhance students' listening skills and vocabulary, making learning more engaging and effective. When children can differentiate between vowel sounds such as "a," "e," "i," "o," and "u," they gain important tools to tackle new phonetic structures, helping them become more independent readers.

Additionally, engaging parents in this process encourages at-home practice, creating a supportive learning environment. Fun activities like rhyming games, singing, and phonics-based exercises can make sound differentiation enjoyable. Overall, fostering normal vowel differentiation lays a strong foundation for a child's ongoing literacy journey and academic success, leading to increased confidence and a lifelong love for reading.
