Phonics

More than 6 years experience

Learning to read should be a positive experience, particularly as learning to read means acquiring one of the most empowering skills a child will ever have. Prior to beginning to learn phonics in earnest(e.g.sound/letter,correspondences), there are certain prerequisite skills that need to be developed that I focus on when engaging a child: Listening skills- Learners must be able to listen carefully to the sounds of speech. They must learn to filter speech sounds from other unrelated environmental sounds. Also, sound production, once a learner has learned to discriminate different sounds between various sounds, they must learn to reproduce these themselves. This involves modeling the sounds carefully for them and encouraging them to copy with particular attention to the shape of the mouth when making each sound.
Lastly, it is important for learners to be able to read individual sounds of the words they hear. They must be able to recognize which sound comes before or after.
