Sound association, or phonics, involves matching letters to their corresponding sounds, which is fundamental to reading and writing skills, especially for children aged 7-8. During these formative years, children's brains are highly receptive and can absorb language rules and patterns more readily. Mastery of normal letter sounds enhances kids' ability to decode new words, ultimately leading to improved reading fluency and comprehension.

It's crucial for parents and teachers to care about phonics because it lays the foundation for future academic success. When children understand the relationship between letters and sounds, they can approach reading with confidence, reducing the likelihood of struggling with more complex texts later. This foundation aids in spelling, which is essential for clear and effective written communication.

Moreover, early phonics education fosters a love for reading. Children who can recognize words easily are more likely to enjoy reading independently, which in turn expands their vocabulary, general knowledge, and critical thinking skills. Emotional and social benefits also abound; children who read proficiently often experience higher self-esteem and better peer interactions.

In essence, prioritizing normal letter sound associations for ages 7-8 equips children with vital literacy skills and sets a positive trajectory for their overall educational journey.
