phonics-based instruction

Phonics-based instruction teaches reading by helping students understand the relationship between sounds and the letters that represent them. It emphasizes decoding words through recognizing letter-sound patterns, enabling learners to sound out unfamiliar words. This systematic approach builds a strong foundation for reading fluency and comprehension, as students learn to break words into smaller parts and connect sounds to written symbols. Phonics instruction is usually structured, starting with basic sounds and gradually introducing more complex patterns, supporting learners in developing confident and independent reading skills.
