What is phonics? Phonics is the way of teaching children how to read and write by recognizing individual sounds (phonemes) while associating them with the letters (graphemes) and blending them together to form a word.
We introduce the phonics by action songs, rhymes and different games such as "I Spy". The photo below is an example how you can introduce a letter and the sound to your child. I started by showing the letter S, then saying the sound it makes, "sss" and talking about the objects that begin with s (initial sound). You can sing the Jolly Phonics rhyme for "s" and do the actions with your child too (Jolly Phonics)
I follow the different phases in phonics - phases 1- 6. Usually the commonly used sounds first: s, a, t, i, p, n and so on.
I will be posting more ideas soon on how to teach phonics to early years.
Paalam!
