Phonics Reading Program
Phonics reading programs are the foundation of how children learn to read. It's exciting for young readers to begin sounding out words; it's like a new world is opening up for them. These things will become the building blocks to reading and forming sentences. Building solid skills is the key for children to become strong, independent readers.
What Exactly is Phonics?
Think of reading as a code. Letters stand for sounds in spoken language. You are matching letters to sounds to form a word. It's almost like decoding. The majority of words that young children come across are decodable, from simple words like pot to tougher words like kitten.
Why Are Phonics so Important?
Phonics reading programs are, across the boards, the most successful way to teach children to read. It is supported by educational research and gives your children the tools to read almost anything they will come across in a book. That is an amazing skill to have.
Your child will have so much to be proud of as they successfully learn to read. They will be confident and have the motivation to keep learning.
How Can I Support My Child?
Easy! Whether you are homeschooling, or your child is learning in school, there are several ways you can support them.
- Explore letters and sounds. If you are in the car or out and about with your child, pick out signs and spot different letters.
