Phonics
Foundational stone to reading and writing.


      Nirali
Purpose
   The goal of phonics instruction is to help readers
    quickly determine the sounds in unfamiliar written
    words.
   When readers encounter new words in texts they use
    the elements of phonics to decode and understand
    them.
    Experts today agree that language, as taught in
    phonics, is the critical building blocks for reading
    success.
What is Phonics
   It is a strong understanding of relationship between
    letters(symbols) and sounds
   The principle behind phonics
     Children become skill readers by learning to

       recognize words
     The phonic instruction shows significant gains in

       their reading comprehension and spelling
       abilities
What is Phonemic Awareness
   Phonemic awareness is the understanding that words
    are made up of phonemes or individual units of sound
    that influence the meaning of the word. (decoding).
   It is also the ability to break down, manipulate and
    blend phonemes.
What Research says
   Studies have shown that ability to recognize individual words
    accounts for 80% of a Class 1 child’s reading comprehension
    skills.
   A common mistake is that once a child learns alphabets, he will
    learn the phonics on his own and become a fluent reader.
   Students who do not understand what they read usually have poor
    word recognition skills
       E.g – A child struggling to understand the text.

3 cues which help them to read
   Graphophonic cues- are hints based on sound-symbol
    correspondences that help readers decode and comprehend a
    text.
Connection between decoding and
comprehension.

   Which in turn leads to Reading fluency



   Which in turn leads to Comprehension
   Students should be exposed to the spoken language-
       Conversations,
       stories,
       specific question and answer,
       listen to the child, look in their eyes,
       discuss the meanings.
Riverside Phonic program
   Begins from K-1 till
    grade 1
       consonants and vowels
       blends –
       Diphthongs
       Long and short vowel
        sounds
Step        1
     Learn Letter sounds and short vowels
Learn the sound of each letter using real objects, games
and flash cards. Then combine the sounds to practice
reading words
       m                                         a
       t         mat                    run      0
       s                                         i
       p                       sip               u
       r                                         e
                 Demonstrate using flash cards
       n
Step    2
    Learning Beginning blends
Learn the sound and sound combinations that come at the
beginning of words. Use the beginning blends to read
words.
                     swim
                     brick
                     slide
                     crab
                     gras
                     s
                     frog
Step    3
    Learning ending blends
Learn the sound and sound combinations that come at the
end of the words. Then use the beginning and ending
blends and sounds to read words.

                     watch
                     fish
                     sting
                     back
                     grizzly
Step    4
    Learn the long vowel sounds
Learn the long vowel sounds and practice reading with
other combinations to make words.
                     brave
                     rain
                     puppy
                     sport
                     read
Step    5
    Learning challenging sounds
Learn the unusual sound combinations and practice them
with the other sounds to read fluently.

                  brown
                  shrun

Strategies –
   Read the letter and draw the picture of the things that begin with
    that sound.
   Match the picture to the sound and vice a versa.
   Look at the picture and write the letter (sound).
   Locate the things that begin with a particular letter in the
    surrounding environment.
   Treasure hunt
   Bingo
   Phonic shop
   Phonic stories
   Label the things in the environment.
   Identifying the sounds in unfamiliar text.
