Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing of the English language by developing learners' ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes in order to teach the correspondence between these sounds and the spelling patterns that represent them.
Phonics is a multi-sensory, synthetic phonics programme. With Phonics, children are taught the English alphabetic code in a simple, but structured way. Phonics was developed by teachers who wanted an effective method of teaching that was also active, interesting and suitable for young children.
Synthetic phonics is a method of teaching children to read and write. The children are taught how the English alphabetic code works before they are expected to do the harder tasks of reading books and writing independently. Synthetic Phonics does not start with whole printed words. It starts with single letters and the sounds that the letters represent.
Why Learning Phonics is Important?
- The goal of phonics is to enable beginning readers to decode new written words by sounding them out, or, in phonics terms, blending the sound-spelling patterns.
- By learning phonics kids become able to read the unfamiliar word by themselves.
- It will improve the blending skills to write new words and build sentences.
- It will improve the fluency in reading and writing.
- Learning phonics is like learn with fun for children which will enhance their future development in reading and writing skills.
