Parents and teachers should care about word identification and normal reading skills for ages 6-9 because this stage is critical for children's literacy development. During these early years, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Mastering word identification is fundamental as it allows children to recognize words accurately and effortlessly, which is the foundation for fluent reading. When children can easily identify words, they can focus more on understanding the text, which enhances their comprehension skills.

Proficiency in reading at this age has long-term implications. It contributes significantly to academic success, as literacy is crucial across all subjects. Poor reading skills can affect a child's self-esteem and motivation, leading to challenges in other areas of learning. Additionally, early reading difficulties, if not addressed, can become more pronounced with time, making it harder for children to catch up with their peers.

Engaging in regular reading activities, providing a rich literacy environment, and offering targeted support can foster strong reading foundations. Understanding the importance of word identification ensures that parents and teachers prioritize practices that support literacy development, helping children develop a love for reading and unlocking their full potential as lifelong learners.
