Phonics method of teaching reading and spelling is based on the correlation between sounds (phonemes) and letters (graphemes). By mastering phonics, the children can decode unfamiliar words, enhancing their reading fluency and comprehension. It’s the bridge that seamlessly connects the dots between the spoken and written word.
Our Phonics Materials are thoughtfully grouped to offer a gradual learning curve. Each group is structured to build upon the skills acquired in the previous group, ensuring a smooth transition and steady progress.
Start by exploring our flashcards, which introduce each letter sound individually. These visual aids are perfect for helping children become familiar with the shape and sound of each letter. Then, move on to our carefully curated word lists that focus on blending these letters to form simple words. This step-by-step approach allows children to build their reading skills in a progressive manner.
