As stipulated in the Learning Standards, the phonic approach is to be used in teaching English. This approach shows pupils the link between letters (graphemes) and the sounds (phonemes) they represent. This helps them to develop blending and segmenting skills which are important to help them read and spell on their own.
Key terms used :
Phonemics awareness - the understanding that a word is made up of a sequence of sounds and the ability to pick out and manipulate these individual sounds.
Phoneme - a unit of sound
Grapheme - a letter or a group of letters representing a sound.
Blending - combining individual phonemes to form a word.
Segmenting - dividing words into phonemes.
