It is possible to apply phonics learning in many ways at home. Sometimes, this can be when you are reading with your child and you have them find the sounds in a word and then blend them to make they word. Children also enjoy playing games involving pairs, sorting, matching and building words with puzzle pieces. Playing games like this will help not only their reading but also their spelling.
