Developing reading skills at ages 8-9 is critical as this stage is a transitional period where children move from learning to read to reading to learn. Strong reading abilities help children comprehend complex texts, broaden their vocabulary, and enhance their critical thinking skills. Normal phonics is essential because it helps children understand the relationship between letters and sounds, enabling them to decode unfamiliar words and fostering fluent reading.

When parents and teachers focus on reading skills and phonics, they contribute to the child's academic success across all subjects. Studies show that children with strong early reading skills are more likely to excel in math, science, and social studies. In addition, reading fluency builds confidence, which positively affects a child's self-esteem and eagerness to participate in classroom activities.

In an increasingly literate society, proficient reading skills are fundamental for effective communication and accessing information. Reading also cultivates empathy by exposing children to diverse cultures and perspectives through stories. Early intervention in reading development can mitigate long-term difficulties, ensuring each child achieves their full potential. Therefore, prioritizing reading skills and phonics at this age can lay a solid foundation for lifelong learning and academic achievement.
