Phonics reading focuses on the relationship between letters and sounds to help children decode words. For example, when reading the paragraph, “The cat sat on the mat,” a child would break it down by sounding out each word. They would recognize that “cat” has the sounds /k/, /a/, and /t/, while “sat” consists of /s/, /a/, and /t/. By practicing phonics, children gain confidence in reading, allowing them to tackle more complex texts as they build their skills. Would you like tips on phonics activities?
