Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics practice and building vocabulary for children aged 6-7 because these skills are foundational to literacy development. At this critical stage, children transition from recognizing simple letters and sounds to decoding words and understanding their meanings. Phonics instruction helps children understand the relationships between letters and sounds, equipping them with essential skills to read and spell words accurately.

By practicing phonics, young learners develop the ability to sound out unfamiliar words, enhancing their reading fluency and confidence. This skill is particularly crucial as it lay the groundwork for future academic success. Similarly, building vocabulary during these early years enriches children's language development, comprehension, and expression. A broad vocabulary allows children to better understand texts and articulate their thoughts effectively.

Well-rounded literacy skills achieved through phonics and vocabulary practice enable children to access a broader array of reading materials, fostering a love for reading and learning. Consequently, this builds their academic proficiency across subjects and boosts self-esteem. In summary, investing in phonics and vocabulary for children aged 6-7 sets the stage for a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and communication skills, which are vital in both academic and everyday contexts.
