Camilla Adams from The Arbor School in Dubai explains how phonics leads to reading and writing, the sounds letters make and how children can blend these to read words. Using flashcards to teach children the sounds associated with letters helps them form their words and sentences. Teaching formation rhymes also helps children form letters, and this video will help you educate children on how to blend sounds to read simple words!
What exactly is phonics?
Phonics is knowing that sounds and letters have a relationship. In other words, it is the link between what we say and what we can read and write. Phonics offers beginning readers the strategies they need to sound out words. For example, kids learn that the letter D has the sound of “d” as in “doll.” Then they learn how to blend letter sounds together to make words like dog.
Why is it important?
The ultimate goal of reading is good comprehension. But in order for kids to understand what they read, they must be able to do it quickly and automatically, without stumbling over words. Phonics facilitates that process.
Systematically and sequentially. Teachers give children plenty of practice before moving on. Your child will read short, easy books, containing the particular letter sounds or words they’re working on. You can help them practice by providing similar books at home.
In pre-school or nursery, before they even start learning letter names and sounds, children begin developing their listening skills so that they are tuned into the different sounds in words.

Today we’re going to show you how phonics leads to
reading and writing
and here with me I have, “Hello my name is Jude & I’m from Fs2”.
So first we’ll show you what sound letters make.
Ready Jude?
and also alongside teaching the
sounds. We teach formation rhymes which go with them
Which help the children form the letter, so Jude, what do we have here?
Good, sometimes when reading and writing
it can become very confusing
where two
letters make one sound and this is
called a digraph
so we have a few of those here, we have, and
very good
Now Jude will show you how to put the sounds together to read simple words
very good
Super
Very good
This is called blending, Jude will now show you how to segment the sounds
We have a log
Very good
