Hello and Welcome to Phonics and Homeschooling. The resources for teach children at home. A method of teaching reading in which people learn to associate letters with the speech sounds they represent, rather than learning to recognize the whole word as a unit. Also find information about children education at home or Homeschooling.
- Awareness that you can change single sounds in a word, thereby producing a new word
For example, removing the m from mat and replacing it with b to make bat
- Awareness that a word can be broken down into single sounds (phonemes); ability to count the number of phonemes in a word
For example, being aware that the word boot has three sounds, and that they are /b/, /u/, /t/
- Segmentation: The ability to identify the sounds in a word singly:
For example, being able to pronounce each sound of boot separately, in any order: the last sound is /t/, the first is /b/, and the middle sound is /u/.
- Manipulation: The ability to move single sounds in a word around, creating new words
For example, given the whole word cat, being able to produce act or tack
- Blending: The ability to put single sounds together to form one or more words For example, when given separate sounds such as /æ/, /t, /p/, being able to use them to form tap, apt, or pat.
