Phonics helps children in understanding that letters represent sounds, and combining these sounds forms words, which is essential in learning to read and write efficiently. For parents and teachers, fostering a solid phonics foundation is pivotal due to several reasons.

Firstly, it accelerates reading skills development. Children who grasp phonics are better at decoding new words, improving their reading fluency. This is critical in early learning stages as fluent readers can focus more on comprehending the text rather than laboriously decoding it.

Secondly, phonics aids spelling correctness. When children understand letter-sound relationships, they can spell words accurately, fostering stronger writing skills

Moreover, phonics boosts confidence. Being able to decode unfamiliar words turns reading from a challenging task to a manageable one, which emboldens students and inspires a love for reading.

Additionally, research supports that systematic phonics instruction can significantly reduce reading difficulties, especially crucial for children with dyslexia.

Lastly, by instilling phonics knowledge, parents and teachers enable children to become more independent learners. The skills acquired through phonics serve as foundational tools that enhance overall literacy, which is indispensable for academic success and lifelong learning. Therefore, caring about and investing in phonics education is essential for children's growth and future competitiveness.
