When teaching your child to read phonics is the way to go. Teaching reading with Phonics is nothing to be intimidated
about. They are just a visual representation
of the spoken word. We all
instinctively know the phonic
sounds, because we use them every time we
speak. We do not need tapes or MP3 recordings of the sounds. We just need
to look at the words and say the word one sound at a time. Very similar to
breaking a word down into syllables, except with phonics we break the word
down further.
Also phonics are classed as voiced, unvoiced, nasal, long,
short and a few others. You don’t really need to know all these. They
are to do with the mechanics of saying the phonic sound. To teach phonics
to your child all you have to do is slow right down when pronouncing the
word. Slow down until you are nearly saying the individual letter sounds.
For example when saying “radio,” just stretch out the word when you
speak it. Say “rraayyyddddoooo.” Get the picture. Saying it like that
basically breaks the word down into phonics. The phonics are
/r/-/a/-/d/-/ao/. Don’t teach the alphabet sound letters to your child, as it causes
more confusion. Normally when you stretch out the word, the child can work out
which letters make which sound.
Some children love the mechanics of reading and once they have a good
grasp of phonics they can read anything, but they don’t
always understand what they are reading. So always explain the words and
the passage. For courses I recommend that teach your children to read and write using phonics see our Recommended Products. Thank you for your time. Peter Legrove.
