Parents and teachers have a vital role in fostering reading skills through phonics in children aged 6-9. Phonics is the method of teaching reading by associating sounds with letters or groups of letters. This age group is particularly significant because it is a critical period for cognitive and language development. Developing phonics skills provides the foundation for word recognition, fluent reading, and overall language proficiency.

When children learn phonics, they become more adept at decoding words, which builds their confidence and promotes a love for reading. This skill is fundamental to their academic success because reading is the cornerstone of learning in all subjects. Without strong reading skills, children are likely to struggle with understanding complex concepts in later grades. Furthermore, proficient reading abilities in the early years correlate with better performance in future education and even career success.

For parents, supporting phonics can enhance bonding through shared reading experiences and boost their child's self-esteem as they progress. For teachers, an emphasis on phonics ensures that all students, regardless of diverse learning needs, have the critical tools necessary to develop literacy. Therefore, prioritizing phonics from ages 6-9 sets children on a path to academic achievement and lifelong learning.
