What Are the Key Components of Phonics-Based Instruction?
Phonics-based instruction typically includes several key components: - Alphabet Knowledge: Teaching children to recognize and name letters. - Phonemic Awareness: Helping children understand that words are made up of individual sounds. - Sound-Letter Correspondence: Teaching the relationship between written letters and their associated sounds. - Blending: Combining individual sounds to form words. - Segmenting: Breaking down words into their individual sounds. - Decoding: Using knowledge of sound-letter relationships to read unfamiliar words.
