Teaching phonics can be easy if the reader follows these basic methods of teaching names and sounds of letters and how words are created systematically.Without the practice of phonics, readers would never learn how to spell words or read books. Phonics is a system of teaching children how to learn to spell and “sound out” words by patterns of letters. Looking back at how the reader learned their phonics, one may remember being in pre-school or kindergarten and learning phonics from a parent or a teacher. Readers should remember that some of the first exercises in learning phonics is spelling out their name and small first-time-reader words.
These exercises include consonant letter sounds, short vowel sounds, and blending methods. As the exercises increase in difficulty, the youth starts to learn families of letter digraph sounds, which help the child, learn to spell larger words and read more advanced books. Next are double vowel sounds, the "silent e," and "R" controlled vowel sounds. These methods are in order as they should be taught in a preschool or kindergarten setting.
Phonetic Guidelines to Follow
Students are taught how to "sound out" new words by learning the following items:
This series of phonics are what children should memorize and apply in reading. The rules of the "silent e" for instance, are taught to children, and then they can apply these rules in reading word sentences with the "silent e." The child can practice this rule by doing skill worksheets highlighting the "silent e" rule. At this point, children are learning letter sounds at a routine level. When children see these letters, they should be able to see and say the "silent e" sound instantly.
consonant letters sounds: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z
short vowel sounds: a, e, i, o, u
teach short vowel sounds first: a – alligator, e – envelope, i – iguana, o – octopus, u – umbrella
blending sounds: br, cr, dr, fr, gr, pr, tr, wr, bl, cl, fl, gl, pl, sl, scr, str, sm, sn, sp, sc, sk
digraph sounds: sh, ch, th, and wh. Two combined letters making a completely different sound.
double vowel sounds: ai, ea, ee, oa. The first vowel says its name.
extra double vowel sounds: oi, oo, ou, ow
"silent e" is dominant; it doesn't say anything but makes the vowel before the "e" say its own name. An example of that rule is cake.
r-controlled vowel sounds: ar, er, ir, and ur. Notice that er, ir,and ur make the same sound.
Reading materials keep evolving since the days of Dick and Jane books because children keep evolving through the inundation of cultural advancements from games, television, and brand advertising. The phonics rule does not have to be an artificial environment to help the student learn his or her phonics. New learning resources have made a difference in helping the population in fooling the phonetic rule.
Educators Learn New Methods
Educators are learning to apply two new methods in teaching the phonetic rule. The two rules are teaching the basic rules only and introduce phonics in a more updated branding.
Phonics should be taught in a way that allows the student to relate more easily with the material. Children should practice phonetic information in genuine stories of current culture and social settings. In a way, children should learn the same way that was introduced many years ago from the science research associates (SRA) reading system but in a more current way. Every time a child is taught a phonetic rule, he or she should review a short reading selection that stresses the new phonetic rule. Completing a worksheet or finding a learning game, that shows illustrations of the rules, is best in helping the child to practice applying the phonetic skill.
When students struggle in reading, the most important phonetic rules should be taught in the simplest way. An example of this new rule is teaching the vowel sounds; it is better to teach the short vowels first, before introducing the long vowels. It would be easier for the instructor to explain to the students that the long vowel says its own name when it comes up in writing later. If students run into the long vowel on their own, they will better remember the difference between the long and the short vowel when the rules have been taught separately.
Children cannot learn to read without the knowledge of phonics. The phonetic base is a foundation for successful reading. As an educator, and as a parent, finding the proper learning tools, that seem fun, will assist the child in becoming a successful reader. The phonics the child knows will help him or her grow in confidence and educational knowledge. By making phonetic learning fun, children will advance freely as he or she shows more interest in the materials provided through new formats.
