Phonics

Phonic sounds, also known as phonemes, are the basic units of speech that form words. Phonics education is centered on teaching children the relationship between these sounds and letters or combinations of letters. This knowledge helps them decode unfamiliar words while reading and improves spelling by recognizing sound patterns.

Understanding phonics is crucial in early literacy development as it empowers young learners to grasp reading comprehension more effectively and enhances their ability to spell accurately.
