Letter-sound association is foundational to early literacy skills and cannot be underestimated, particularly for Grade 1 English beginners. Understanding that each letter or group of letters corresponds to a specific sound forms the bedrock for reading and writing. When students grasp these associations, they unlock the ability to decode words, enabling them to read more independently and confidently. This skill is not just about sounding out words correctly; it builds phonemic awareness, which is crucial for recognizing, forming, and manipulating sounds.

For parents, investing time in supporting letter-sound association means aiding their child's future academic success and fostering a love for reading. For teachers, focusing on these skills allows them to provide effective literacy instruction, identify students' strengths and challenges early on, and offer targeted interventions.

Ultimately, letter-sound association impacts a child's ability to comprehend text, spell accurately, and expand vocabulary. As students encounter more complex texts, this early foundation supports more advanced literacy skills, from reading fluency to critical thinking. Therefore, parents and teachers should prioritize letter-sound association to instill confidence, encourage a lifelong reading habit, and lay the groundwork for academic achievement across subjects.
