Improving reading skills in children aged 7-9 through Normal Elementary Phonics is crucial for their overall development and academic success. During these formative years, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Mastery of phonics—a method that teaches the relationships between letters and sounds—provides the foundation for this transition. By reinforcing phonics skills, parents and teachers help children decode words, which enhances their ability to understand and engage with complex texts across various subjects.

Good reading skills also foster confidence and independence in young learners. Children who struggle with reading may develop anxiety or frustration, hindering their desire to learn and explore new topics. By emphasizing phonics, caregivers can create an environment that nurtures curiosity and a love for reading.

Moreover, proficient reading skills at a young age correlate with future academic achievements. Children who read well are more likely to excel in not only language arts but also in science and math, as comprehension skills are universally applicable. Therefore, investing time and resources in improving phonics skills is beneficial for children’s immediate academic performance and long-term educational growth, paving the way for lifelong learning and success.
