Phonicssounds make words.
Phonics teaches children that letters stand for sounds, and that sounds blend into words. Systematic phonics teaching is one of the best-researched ways to help children learn to read.
Letter sounds first
Teach the sound a letter makes (/m/, not “em”). Start with letters that can be stretched: m, s, f, a.
Blend
Say the sounds and slide them together: /c/ /a/ /t/ … cat. Short three-letter CVC words are the first step.
Segment for spelling
The reverse of blending: hear a word and pull its sounds apart to spell it.
Write what you hear
Writing letters while saying their sounds ties phonics and handwriting together.
