Phonics is a method for teaching kids how to read and write an alphabetic language. It is done by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language, and the letters or groups of letters or syllables of the written language.
- Systematic teaching of phonics, grammar, spelling and punctuation across the school years
- Teaching is multi-sensory and active, with fun actions, stories and songs
- Independent research supports the outstanding results achieved around the world with the programme
- Continues to revise and extend children’s phonic knowledge
- Flexible and easy to implement. We teach letter sounds as opposed to the alphabet. These 42 letter sounds are phonic building blocks that children, with the right tools, use to decode the English language. When reading a word, they recognise the letters and blend together the respective sounds; when writing a word they identify the sounds and write down the corresponding letters. These skills are called blending and segmenting.
