Sound-letter association is crucial for children aged 3-8 as it forms the foundation of literacy development. At this age, children are highly receptive to learning sounds and letters, which are fundamental components of reading and writing. Understanding how different sounds connect to specific letters or groups of letters allows children to decode words, which is essential for reading fluency.

Parents and teachers should prioritise this aspect of learning because it enhances vocabulary acquisition and improves spelling skills. When young learners engage in activities that promote sound-letter association—such as phonics games, songs, and rhymes—they develop a deeper understanding of language structures. This not only boosts their reading abilities but also fosters confidence, encouraging them to explore books independently.

Moreover, early mastery of sound-letter relationships creates a solid linguistic foundation as children progress in school. Difficulties in this area can lead to reading challenges later, which may impact academic performance and self-esteem. Early intervention through engaging, age-appropriate activities ensures that children develop strong literacy skills necessary for future learning success. Therefore, fostering sound-letter association is vital for preparing young learners for a fruitful educational journey.
