phonics instruction

Phonics instruction is a method used to teach reading by helping students understand the relationship between letters and sounds. It involves teaching the sounds that individual letters and combinations of letters make, allowing learners to decode words when reading and to encode them when writing. This systematic approach enables children to sound out unfamiliar words, improving their reading fluency and comprehension. Phonics is often used alongside other reading strategies to develop a well-rounded literacy skill set, making it an essential component of early education in reading.
