Phonics skills play a crucial role in building vocabulary for children aged 7-9, and both parents and teachers should prioritize this developmental aspect. During these years, children are expanding their reading abilities and acquiring new words that will enrich their communication skills. Strong phonics knowledge helps children understand the relationship between letters and sounds, which is essential for decoding unfamiliar words. This foundational skill not only supports reading fluency but also enhances comprehension, as children can focus more on understanding the text rather than struggling with pronunciation.

Moreover, a robust vocabulary allows children to express themselves clearly and confidently, facilitating effective communication. When parents and teachers emphasize phonics, they contribute to a child's language development and cognitive growth, empowering them to explore more complex texts and ideas. Additionally, a well-developed vocabulary enhances a child's overall academic performance, as it is closely linked to success in all subjects.

By actively engaging with phonics, whether through reading together or practicing word games, adults can foster a love for language, making learning enjoyable and interactive. Prioritizing phonics skills not only sets the stage for future literacy success but also creates confident, articulate learners ready to tackle the challenges of education.
