Phonics
Phonics helps kids match sounds to letters or letter groups.
-decoding common patterns such as
1.letter names, letter sounds, vowels short and long sounds
2.short vowels in consonant-vowel-consonant words (cat, mud, fin)
- Consonant blends with short vowels (bl, cr, gr, pl, fr, dr, etc.)
- Short vowels, digraphs and tch (wh, sh, th, ck, etc.)
- R-controlled vowels (ar, ur, ir, or, er)
- Long vowel spellings (ey, silent e, ea, ie, ee, ow, etc.)
- Variant vowels (ew, ow, oo, aw, oi, ue, au, etc.)
- Low frequency vowel and consonant spellings
- Multisyllabic (closed-closed, closed-silent e, open-closed-closed, open or closed, silent e, consonant -le, r-controlled, and vowel teams)
-breaking words down into sounds
-syllable decoding and blending
-connect words on paper with the words they hear.
Ways you can support this at home:
-look at letters, say their name, sound, and a word that begins with that sound
-make flashcards for word families (at family: hat, sat, cat, etc)
-make flashcards for high-frequency words (words that appear often in literature but do not follow the common phonics rules)
-break words up into syllables onto separate flash cards to pull words apart when decoding and blending
-revisit familiar books and read daily
