Key Content What is Phonics?

Letters stand for sounds in spoken language. If you think of words and sentences as a code,
then when you read, you’re breaking the code. You’re matching letters to sounds so that you
can sound out words. That’s de-coding, and it is what phonics is all about.

Phonics Instruction is an essential ingredient in early reading development. The ability to sound

out words successfully is a strong predictor of future growth in decoding and comprehension.

Why is teaching Phonics Important?

Phonics is, hands-down, the best way to teach kids to read words. This is well-supported by
research: we know that systematic phonics instruction is better than any other approach when
it comes to learning to read. Why is it so effective? Because phonics gives your child the tools to
read almost every word he or she comes across. And that’s really powerful.

How is phonics taught in schools?

Whilst there may be over 470,000 words in the English language, there are only 44 phonemes in
total. Teaching children with focus on the core basics on the 44 phonemes teaching and learning
becomes a lot simpler. There are three basic stages in There are three basic stages in which
phonics is taught:
Grapheme Phoneme Correspondences (GRCs), Blending, and Segmenting.

Abstraction Deepening of the Concept: Video Presentation

PROBE FURTHER USING THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

● When we read and we come across an unfamiliar word, what do we do?

● Why do we break down the word into word parts? (to figure out their
pronunciation)

● How do we get to recognize the word? (by using graphophonic analysis, sound
symbol association cues, syntactic cues through analysis of word-order and its
position in the sentence; through context clues, and analogy).

● How do we detect the meaning of the word? (by using semantic cues through
analysis of the words around it to get its meaning).
