explains well:
Learning to read is the first step in school education. It is essential to later learning. At first, it is also very difficult.
Things are made much easier for beginning readers if they are explicitly taught the regular correspondences between spelling and sound. It enables them to sound out words they haven’t seen in written form before, provided they know those words in spoken form.
