Phonics (noun)
The science of sound
A method of teaching beginners to read and pronounce words by learning the phonetic value of letters, letter groups, and especially syllables
Phonics is all about teaching children to identify individual letters and letter groups, the sounds they make, and then utilizing that knowledge to read words. Phonics shows your child how printed letters (or graphemes) represent the individual sounds (or phonemes) we hear in spoken language.
Our program begins with Pre-Reader content, which introduces individual letters and sounds of the alphabet. When Pre-Reader is mastered, they will move to the Learn to Read section, which focuses on letter blends. By completing matching, tracing, and alliteration activities, children will master identifying letters, letter groups, and the sounds they all make.
