Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing by developing learners’ phonemic awareness. Phonics is absolutely essential for helping children begin to read. Once the code of reading has been cracked through phonics, children will then have the ability to explore the length and breadth of literacy as a whole. Phonics has proven time and again to be the most effective way to get children reading early. (https://www.kizphonics.com/what-is-phonics/)

Here is the phonics learning continuum:
1. Learn letter names and sounds
2. Decode consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words such as cat, dog, pin, set, and bun.
3. Decode words containing blends (CCVC and CVCC) words. Examples of words containing blends are sled and cast.
4. Decode words containing digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ph). Examples are chin, shoe, that, what, and phone.
5. Decode words with a silent e (CVCe). Examples are cake, like, note, cute, and Pete.
6. Decode words containing r-controlled vowels (ar, ir, ur, er, or). Examples are car, girl, fur, her, and corn).
7. Decode words containing advanced consonant sounds (x, qu, kn, wr, gn, -tch, -dge). Examples are box, quick, knot, write, gnat, witch, and bridge)
8. Decode words containing advanced vowel sounds or what we like to call vowel teams. Some of these are also called dipthongs or vowel digraphs...lots of terminology related to phonics! Here are examples of the vowel teams each with a word:
