Reading comprehension and proficiency in normal elementary phonics are crucial for children aged 8-9 for several reasons. Firstly, these skills form the foundation for all other learning. At this age, children transition from learning to read to reading to learn. Strong phonics skills help kids decode words, while reading comprehension enables them to grasp and process the meaning of text. Without these essential abilities, kids may struggle in subjects that require reading, such as science, social studies, and math.

Secondly, proficient reading and comprehension skills boost confidence and academic performance. When children understand what they read, they are more likely to participate in classroom discussions and exhibit a love for learning. This positivity can have a ripple effect, influencing their attitude towards other subjects and schooling in general.

Thirdly, these skills are necessary for lifelong success. Literacy is not just an academic skill; it influences practical tasks such as understanding instructions, reading signs, and navigating the world around us.

Parents and teachers supporting children in mastering these skills provide them with vital tools for academic success and everyday life, setting the stage for more advanced study and critical thinking, thus preparing them for future educational challenges and opportunities.
