Phonics practice, especially focusing on normal long vowels, is crucial for children ages 7-9, as it lays the foundation for their reading and writing skills. At this age, students transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Understanding long vowels aids in decoding words accurately, promoting fluency and comprehension, which are essential for success across all subjects.

These phonics skills enable children to recognize patterns in words, making it easier for them to tackle unfamiliar texts and expand their vocabulary. Furthermore, a strong grasp of phonics can boost confidence, as children become more independent readers. This independence fosters a love for reading, encouraging them to explore various genres and subjects.

Teachers and parents should prioritize phonics practice because it significantly impacts literacy development. It also supports spelling skills, connecting phonetic sounds to written words, which can enhance overall communication abilities. Regular phonics practice, through games, activities, and reading exercises, can also aid children with learning difficulties, ensuring they receive the necessary support to thrive. Ultimately, investing time in phonics for long vowels promotes educational equity and provides all children with the tools to excel in their academic journey.
