Phonics is the relationships between the letters of written language and the sounds of spoken language. Children's reading development is dependent on their understanding of the alphabetic principle — the idea that letters and letter patterns represent the sounds of spoken language.
Learning that there are predictable relationships between sounds and letters allows children to apply these relationships to both familiar and unfamiliar words, and to begin to read with fluency.
To teach these skills, we employ the following techniques and utilize programs that explicitly teach these relationships, which include:
- Sounds & Motion
- Explode the Code
- Recipe for Reading
- Use of Big Books, poems and predictable pattern books
