As they grasp how to identify words, they'll build the confidence to navigate sentences, paragraphs, and eventually, full stories on their own.
Moreover, mastering this skill early on fosters a love for reading and writing, encouraging lifelong learning. It also supports vocabulary development, as recognizing words individually aids in their understanding and usage.
