Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics practice for 7-year-olds because it forms the foundation of reading and writing skills crucial for academic success. At this age, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. Phonics teaches them the relationship between sounds and letters, enabling them to decode words effectively. This skill is vital as it not only enhances their reading fluency but also boosts comprehension, allowing them to engage more fully with texts.

Moreover, strong phonics skills empower children to tackle new words independently, instilling confidence and a love for reading. As they develop these skills, they're better equipped to explore diverse subjects, bolstering overall learning and critical thinking abilities. Furthermore, phonics instruction supports high-stakes assessments that often influence academic progression and opportunities.

In addition, integrating phonics into daily activities can encourage a cohesive learning environment at home and in school. Opportunities for phonics practice—whether through games, songs, or interactive reading—make learning engaging and effective. Ultimately, investing in phonics practice benefits not only individual students but also cultivates a literate community where children possess the tools to succeed in their educational journeys.
