What is phonics? Phonics is the system of relationships between letters and sounds in a language. |
|
Why is phonics important? Learning phonics will help
your children learn to read and spell. Written language can be compared
to a code, so knowing the sounds of letters and letter combinations
will help your child decode words as he reads. Knowing phonics will
also help your child know which letters to use as he writes words.

How do I provide appropriate practice? Speed Drills
Suggested Use: Print speed drill on cardstock and laminate. Provide students with a vis-a-vis pen. The student will first underline the target pattern. Then the student will use their speed drill sheet to read the marked words. You may choose to have students record their speed drill score on a chart to watch their own progress. Help each student set an individual speed drill goal--a set number of words to read in a minute. Students then time and correct each other while practicing speed drills.
