Excellent books and audio series are
available for learning phonics. Class sessions are really exciting.
You can do so much with a phonics class as you are able to work in a
group. Expressing aloud gives you the confidence of knowing new
words and spelling it out correctly. Getting the sounds right
involves a lot of concentration. Classes for adults are done in a
systematic manner and it improves a lot of value for your
confidence. Erasing the vernacular diction is again easily brought
in via a phased manner. Games, audio clippings and worksheets are
set for easy adaptation.
A phonics class for kids is great fun. You can look for classes
close to your vicinity. Learn more about the pattern taught in each
class. It is easy to understand and follow the pattern of a teacher
as it is done very systematically. The fees are reasonable and most
of the sessions taught to your child are given to you. Evaluation is
done in a phased manner so that students are upgraded for a higher
level. Getting to know about phonics classes can be enquired easily
and generally children love the fun concept involved in a class.
Most play schools have an in-house phonics class. Many concepts like
mom and child learning for phonics is the best way to bond and feel
good.
English has a mingling of many borrowed words and it is good to know
the correct sound of each alphabet .Having a good base is vital
before sentences are taught. Being eloquent is a grace and it is
good to have a lot of games in a session. Kids are eager to answer
and get it right. A lot of things are learnt later. For e.g. in the
word ‘person’ the alphabet ‘o’ makes the sound ‘uh’. This is
understood step wise as reading takes precedence for children.
Knowing the correct sound for each word is just a matter of get it
right with words. The teacher is well aware of any kind of
hesitation felt by the student and encourages the child to take a
step further.
There are vowels and consonants which are bifurcated initially.
While reading, a reader concentrates more on the alphabet and
ignores the pronunciation. Here the short and long vowels are taught
along with many examples. There is no need to hesitate as a child
picks up the words in a simple manner. The introduction is done with
2 or 3 letter words and slowly goes towards complex words. There are
so many ways the alphabet ‘a’ sounds. This can be seen in c-a-t and
b-a-s-i-c. The slight changes of long and short sounds are taught in
classes with pictures, cards and other visual aids. .
