Parents and teachers should prioritize proper letter formation for 4-year-olds because it serves as the fundamental building block of literacy. At this formative age, children are developing fine motor skills which are crucial for writing. Ensuring that they learn to form letters correctly helps enhance their dexterity and hand-eye coordination. When children start school with a solid grasp of proper letter formation, they find it easier to learn to read, write, and spell. This foundation also builds confidence in their academic abilities, fostering a positive attitude towards learning.

Correct letter formation reduces the likelihood of bad writing habits that can be difficult to break later. It helps avoid confusion between similar-looking characters (like 'b' and 'd'), making the process of learning to read more efficient. Moreover, clear and legible handwriting aids teachers in assessing students' work accurately, which is essential for effective feedback and instruction.

Additionally, engaging in activities that promote letter formation can be fun and engaging for young learners, capturing their interest and making education a positive experience. These skills lay the groundwork for future academic success and help ensure that the child's first encounter with the educational system is enriching and supportive.

In essence, investing in proper letter formation at an early age builds an essential skill set that supports broader educational development and lifelong learning.
