Reading comprehension is crucial for a child’s academic success and overall development. For children aged 3-6, understanding normal consonant digraphs (combinations of two consonants producing a single sound, like 'ch' in "chair" or 'th' in "this") plays a pivotal role in mastering early reading skills.

First, consonant digraphs help children decode words more effectively. When children recognize these common sound combinations, they can read more fluently and with greater confidence. This, in turn, enhances their reading comprehension, allowing them to make sense of sentences and stories better.

Second, mastering digraphs expands a child’s vocabulary. Early familiarity with common digraphs can help children decipher and understand a larger array of words. This vocabulary expansion is crucial because it allows children to articulate thoughts more precisely and understand instructions or passages better.

Finally, an early grasp of digraphs sets the stage for phonetic awareness, an essential component of learning to read. It aids in developing listening skills which improve their ability to hear, recognize, and produce the sounds within words. Without this fundamental knowledge, children may become frustrated and lose interest in reading, impacting future educational outcomes negatively.

Thus, focusing on consonant digraphs for young readers forms an essential part of early education, helping build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and literacy success.
