Phonics skills are crucial for children aged 7-9 as they significantly impact reading and writing development. During this formative stage, children are building on their foundational understanding of sounds and letters, enhancing their ability to decode words. A strong grasp of phonics allows them to read fluently, making it easier to comprehend texts, which is essential across all subjects.

Parents and teachers should care about phonics because it lays the groundwork for successful literacy. Children who struggle with phonics may face difficulties in reading along with the entirety of their academic journey, including grammar and writing. This could lead to frustration and decreased motivation, ultimately affecting their overall learning experience.

Moreover, as these children begin to express themselves through writing, phonics plays a pivotal role in spelling and articulating ideas coherently. By emphasizing phonics skills, adults can instill confidence and a love for reading in youngsters. This not only supports their current educational endeavors but also shapes their approach to lifelong learning.

In summary, focusing on phonics for children aged 7-9 equips them with essential tools for literacy, fosters academic success, and cultivates a passion for reading and communication. Parents and teachers play a vital role in nurturing these skills.
