Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics skills for 9-year-olds because these foundational skills are essential for reading fluency and comprehension. At this age, children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn. Proficient phonics skills enable them to decode complex texts, enhancing their ability to grasp various subjects. This literacy is critical, as strong reading skills correlate with success across all areas of education.

Additionally, phonics instruction supports spelling and writing skills. When children understand the relationship between letters and sounds, they can construct words more accurately, improving their communication skills. This is particularly important as they begin writing more complex sentences and narratives in later grades.

Furthermore, phonics skills promote confidence in young readers. When children can easily decipher words, they are more likely to enjoy reading, fostering a lifelong love for books and learning. Given the diverse challenges some students may face in literacy, early intervention through phonics can help bridge gaps in learning, ensuring all students have equitable access to educational opportunities.

Ultimately, prioritizing phonics skills not only aids individual literacy development but also supports overall academic achievement and self-Esteem in children.
