Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching prefixes to children aged 6-9 because building vocabulary at this stage is crucial for developing strong reading and comprehension skills. Prefixes are the building blocks of many words, and understanding them can significantly enhance a child's ability to decode unfamiliar words. By learning prefixes, children can break down complex words into manageable parts, making reading less daunting and more enjoyable.

At this age, children are rapidly expanding their language skills. Introducing prefixes such as "un-", "re-", "pre-", and "dis-" equips them with tools to understand and create a wider range of words. For instance, a child who knows the prefix "un-" will recognize that "unkind" means not kind. This understanding fosters better reading fluency and confidence because children can infer the meanings of new words they encounter.

Moreover, a good vocabulary is linked to academic success. Children with a robust vocabulary can express themselves more clearly and understand instructions better, leading to improved performance across all subjects. Additionally, a broadened vocabulary enhances listening and communication skills, which are vital for social interaction and learning.

In essence, teaching prefixes is an essential part of literacy that supports overall language development. It allows children to become more autonomous readers and communicators, setting a strong foundation for their future academic and social success.
