Phonics skills are the foundation of reading and literacy, making Phonics Skills Extra Challenge with a focus on long vowels crucial for children aged 6-7. At this developmental stage, children transition from recognizing letters and sounds to blending them into words, and understanding long vowels is key to this process. Long vowels sound the same as their letter names, such as the ‘a’ in ‘cake’ or the ‘e’ in ‘tree,’ and mastering these sounds helps children decode more complex words, broadening their vocabulary.

Supporting this skill boosts reading fluency—a child can read more effortlessly and quickly, which enhances comprehension and enjoyment of stories. When children are comfortable with long vowels, they gain confidence in their reading abilities, leading to greater academic achievement and a positive attitude towards learning.

Moreover, early proficiency in phonics is predictive of later educational success. Struggles in early reading can affect all areas of learning, as reading is integral to most subjects. By encouraging extra challenges with long vowels, parents and teachers can ensure children have a strong linguistic and cognitive foundation, setting them up for future success not just in reading, but in all areas of their education.

In essence, caring about phonics skills, particularly long vowels, is an investment in a child's overall developmental trajectory.
