Why Phonics ?

Why Phonics ?

Phonics is taught in a structured way – starting with the easiest sounds and progressing through to the most complex – it is the most effective way of teaching young children to read. Almost all children who receive good teaching of phonics will learn the skills they need to tackle new words. They can then go on to read any kind of text fluently and confidently, and to read for enjoyment. Children who have been taught phonics also tend to read more accurately than those taught using other methods, such as ‘look and say’. This includes children who find learning to read difficult.

What is Phonics ?

Phonics is a way of teaching children to read quickly and skilfully

1)Recognise the sounds that each individual letter makes
2) Identify the sounds that different combinations of letters make - such as ‘sh’ or ‘oo’; and
3) Blend these sounds together from left to right to make a word.Children can then use this knowledge to ‘de-code’ new words that they hear or see.

Grammer

By teaching key essential grammar rules, it helps children bring diversity to their writing and improve their spelling in a structured way. Grammar teaches a wide range of language forms including the parts of speech, plurals, punctuation, and the tenses past, present, and future. It also teaches a wide range of spelling rules, including defining aspects such as the short vowels. Grammar uses colours and actions to help children identify parts of speech in sentences, for example verbs are red and nouns are black. Filled with great ideas and fun ways to remember some of the rules, Jolly Grammar provides teachers with a systematic way to teach grammar, spelling and punctuation.
