Parents and teachers should prioritize phonics skills, particularly normal vowels and consonants, for children aged 6-9 because these foundational skills are essential for literacy development. At this age, children begin to move from learning to read towards reading to learn. Phonics serves as the bridge, helping them decode written words by understanding the relationship between letters and sounds.

Mastering vowels and consonants enhances vocabulary development and fluency. It enables kids to break down unfamiliar words into manageable parts, boosting their confidence and independence as readers. Fluency in reading directly impacts comprehension; when children can easily sound out words, they can focus on grasping the meaning of what they are reading, which is key for overall academic success.

Moreover, phonics instruction during these formative years helps prevent reading difficulties. Studies show that children with strong phonics skills are less likely to struggle with literacy as they advance through school. Lastly, cultivating a love for reading during this stage can instill a lifelong appreciation for literature and learning. Therefore, by supporting phonics skills, parents and teachers are planting the seeds for their children's future educational achievements and fostering greater engagement with literacy.
