Kindergarten Phonics For Teachers

Phonics Gets us Started

So, you might ask…just what is phonics and how do I teach it? You can find a number of definitions for phonics with some like this:

 

  • Phonics is a method of teaching people to read by correlating sounds with letters or groups of letters in an alphabetic writing system.
  • Phonics is a method for teaching the reading and writing of an alphabetic language. It is done by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language, and the letters, groups of letters, or syllables of the written language. This is also known as the Alphabetic principle or the Alphabetic code.

There is Even a Song For Phonics

The NFC Academy curriculum you will use will carefully take you through learning the phonics sounds as you teach your child the most basic thing our children must learn which is “to read.”

There are many programs to teach phonics but none will improve upon a parent and their child using their unique God given connection with a proven curriculum to learn to read. Remember some of the excitement surrounding the “firsts” for your child…you will get to be there and experience the wonder of your child learning to read as you masterfully go through your curriculum teaching your child to read.
