Phonics is one of the fundamental elements when it comes to teaching English as a foreign language. It is important for children to learn letter-sound relationships because English uses letters in the alphabet to represent sounds. Phonics teaches this information to help children learn how to read. Children learn the sounds that each letter makes, and how a change in the order of letters changes a word’s meaning. Phonics instruction teaches children how to decode letters into their respective sounds, which is essential for reading unfamiliar words by themselves. In this section, you may find handy material which can be used in various ways inside and outside the classroom.
