Parents and teachers should prioritize the development of reading skills, particularly letter sounds, for children aged 5-6 because these foundational skills form the bedrock of all future literacy and learning. At this age, children's brains are highly receptive to language acquisition. Learning letter sounds, or phonemic awareness, is critical as it facilitates the ability to decode words, a core component of early reading. These skills enable children to recognize and pronounce words independently, fostering an essential sense of accomplishment and confidence in their abilities.

Moreover, early competence in reading is linked to better academic performance in later years. Children who master letter sounds and early reading skills are better equipped to understand more complex texts, which is integral for not only language arts but across all subjects, including math, science, and social studies. The ability to read fluently and with understanding paves the way for effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Furthermore, early exposure to reading and literacy can instill a lifelong love of reading and learning. By focusing on letter sounds and early reading skills, parents and teachers are not only preparing children for immediate academic success but are also providing them with the tools necessary for lifelong learning and personal growth.
