Analytic Phonics

Analytic phonics is an approach to teaching reading that involves examining and analyzing words already known to identify common spelling patterns and sounds. Instead of teaching new sounds in isolation, students learn to analyze words they recognize, breaking them down into parts like roots, prefixes, suffixes, and phonemes. This method emphasizes understanding the relationship between sounds and letter patterns within familiar words, helping students decode new words by applying their existing knowledge of spelling rules and patterns. It promotes reading comprehension and decoding skills by encouraging learners to analyze and recognize words in context.
