Phonics skills are crucial for children, especially those around the age of 9. As they transition into more complex reading materials, a solid foundation in phonics helps them decode words accurately and fluently. This skill set not only enhances their reading comprehension but also bolsters their overall academic performance, as reading is fundamental across all subjects.

When teachers and parents prioritize phonics skills, they equip children with the tools necessary to approach unfamiliar words with confidence. Phonics instruction encourages a methodical approach to reading, allowing for the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These skills are not just useful for reading; they enhance spelling and writing as well, which are essential in effective communication.

Moreover, strong phonics skills can positively affect a child's self-esteem. When children feel competent in their reading abilities, they are more likely to engage with texts, participate in classroom discussions, and show a greater interest in learning. Additionally, phonics instruction plays a pivotal role in identifying and addressing difficulties, such as dyslexia, early on. Therefore, prioritizing phonics in the learning journey is fundamental to fostering confident, capable readers.
