Children love involvement and that is
seen in their enthusiasm to participate. There are phonics classes
specially involved in the pre school level so that children learn
much about the sound. They are very much interesting in knowing the
simple one liner that comes along with the sound of ‘a’like ‘Ants’
are crawling up my arm. A-a-a. This is said with the tongue sticking
out to clearly produce the sound ‘a’ as in cat, rat and bat.
Initially they love the animation and actions and they slowly are
able to relate to the real phonic lesson. A good teacher understands
their concentration span and is able to provide more delight with
the help of a music and audio session. This is done really well with
the help of worksheets, group involvement and loads of cheering.
Some kids are usually shy and it is true the phonics classes are the
best way a child can learn to talk. Another thing is about
vocabulary. Reading is a great way to help the child know about
words. Knowing the right sound is vital so that kids understand why
the particular sound goes short of varied words. They are also able
to learn the lower and upper case in alphabets. Sticking of wool,
threads, rubber bands and coloring with pastels is another
innovative to continue a phonics lesson. Once the interest is
generated, children interact very freely. The evaluation need not be
very formal as the children progress gradually in all the spheres
connected with academics.
The most excellent way to add more interest in a phonic class is a
quiz session. You can have a revision day and then next day you can
conduct a Quiz class. Special attraction can be added with more
points for the best expression. This is also a great way to
conceptualize. May be as per the age of the student you can involve
new interactive phases like animal phonics or names of cities. This
is an additional round which you can have with your regular class.
Knowing more about phonics really improves your confidence. This is
really good and does much to the personality of the child. Looking
at the worksheets and progress made, the children can go the second
or third level of phonics lessons.
In the advanced phonics class, the interaction is the main concern.
Here children can play a game or listen to an audio. Here we can
begin with the introduction of silent words and this is really
helpful. The effect of ph as f is quite unique to children but when
you show them a picture of Jumbo the elephant and have it colored,
they adjust to that it has to be pronounced as eli-f-ant.
