Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching letter-sound associations to children aged 4-9 because it is foundational for literacy development. Mastering letter-sound relationships is an essential step in learning to read, as it enables children to decode written words, turning letters into recognizable sounds. This skill, called phonics, is critical for fluent and independent reading, impek how effectively a child can comprehend longer texts.

In addition, understanding letter-sound associations aids in accurate spelling. When kids can connect specific sounds with corresponding letters, they become more proficient at constructing words. This competency also fosters confidence in writing, encouraging them to experiment with language. It's during these formative years that children's brains are especially receptive to language acquisition. Introducing them to these concepts early capitalizes on this critical growth period.

Moreover, research shows that strong phonics skills link directly to higher academic achievement across subjects. Early literacy skills impact overall learning as reading is core to understanding instructions and new information.

Ultimately, the ability to read and write fluently paves the way for a love of learning and academic success. By focusing on letter-sound associations from an early age, parents and teachers instill essential skills that serve as building blocks for the children's educational journey and lifelong learning.
