Phonics
Phonics
The relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds. Decoding written words by recognizing the sounds that letters or groups of letters represent.
Letter-Sound Correspondence
Letter-Sound Correspondence
Learning letter-sound correspondences (e.g., 'c' makes the /k/ sound).
Blending in Phonics
Blending in Phonics

Study Notes
- Phonics concerns the relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds.
- It involves decoding written words by recognizing the sounds that letters or letter groups represent.
- Phonics teaches children to use their knowledge of letter-sound relationships to read and spell.
Examples of Phonics Activities
- Learning letter-sound correspondences, like "c" making the /k/ sound
- Blending letters to form words, such as “s” + “a” + “t” = "sat"
- Identifying and using common spelling patterns, like “-ight” in “night”
Distinctions Between Phonics and Phonemic Awareness
- Phonemic awareness concentrates on sound identification and manipulation.
- Phonics emphasizes phoneme-grapheme relationships and patterns within words to develop word reading skills.
- Phonemic awareness involves auditory knowledge of sounds.
- Phonics involves using visual and auditory skills with letter symbols.
- Phonemic awareness instruction often starts earlier than phonics, though they can overlap.
- Some phonemic awareness skills develop before formal reading instruction.
- Structured and explicit phonics instruction typically starts when children enter kindergarten.
- Phonics instruction is foundational and should continue through at least 3rd grade.
- Studies show that phonics word study instruction benefits 4th and 5th graders as well.
