PHONICS FOR CHILDREN
Definition:
Phonics is the systemic teaching of the sounds conveyed by letters and groups of letters, and includes teaching children to combine and blend these to read or write words. It is important because
• The majority of the information conveyed by letters concern sounds
• Letters tell us more information than any other source
• We can’t read fluently until we read accurately
• Once we have learned we can store in our memory and retrieve it more quickly
• Almost all weak readers have difficulty in blending sounds from letters to make words.
Different approaches to Phonetic teaching
Synthetic phonics:
• The children are systematically taught the phonemes associated with particular letters.
• Children begin from hearing …show more content…
when encountering an unknown single syllable word such as h/e/n the child would sound out its three phonemes and blend them together as hen
Analytic phonics:
• Children identifies phonemes in whole words and are encouraged to segment the words into phonemes
• E.g. hen, house, hill all begins with same sound
Analogy phonics:
• Focus on teaching families. Children use words they know how to read, and look for patterns in these words
• E.g. Child knows how to read and spell out cat. They can also read and spell hat, mat, bat
Imbedded phonics:
• Children taught phonics through real reading experiences
Phonics thro spelling:
• Children learn phonics thro writing experiences
• E.g. they may write “We went on a feeld trip, the teacher helps on to match phonemes they hear (feeld- field). Method of teaching:
• Reading Short vowels letters and sounds
• Long vowel sounds
• Vowel plus r patterns,( word containing ar,er,ir,or,ur,our)
• Funky chunks( oo, oy,oi,ow,ou,ough,augh)
• Applying sounds and letters in writing Material Choosing:
• Sound charts ( consonants, vowel , blends,rimes)
• Individual letter card for making words and blending sounds
• Word sorting cards
• Dry erase boards and markers
• Magnetic letters ( for building and manipulating …show more content…

Uppercase letters:
Have the child point to each letter in order as he or she says the letter’s name. Circle those that the child gets correct
