What is Phonics?

Phonics is an essential component of learning to read and write. It involves teaching students to associate sounds with letters and letter combinations, and to use these associations to decode words. Phonics instruction typically begins with simple letter-sound correspondences and progresses to more complex patterns and rules.

One of the most significant advantages of phonics instruction is that it provides a systematic and predictable way for students to decode unfamiliar words. By breaking words down into their component sounds and matching those sounds to letters, students can quickly figure out how to pronounce new words they encounter in their reading.

Phonics instruction also helps students develop their spelling skills. By learning the rules and patterns of the English language, students can more easily spell words correctly. This not only helps with their writing, but it also improves their reading comprehension, as correct spelling makes it easier to recognize words and understand their meaning.

There are a variety of phonics programs and approaches available, ranging from synthetic phonics, which teaches letter-sound correspondences in isolation, to analytic phonics, which focuses on teaching children to identify larger patterns within words. The best phonics program for a particular student will depend on their individual needs and learning style.

In conclusion, phonics is an essential component of literacy instruction. By teaching students to associate sounds with letters and letter combinations, phonics instruction provides a systematic and predictable way for students to decode unfamiliar words. This not only improves their reading skills but also helps with spelling and writing.

Phonics – Beginning Sounds

Hello Freinds

I have been very busy with my little baby learning to walk and talk. Managing the time I tried and have made this resource which has phonic letter beginning sound for letters A to J. Soon all letter would be available.

The unit has pictures beginning sound of each letter, child has to search the picture of the given letter and color it. This can help child to know vocabulary to each letter and its sound too. This can be used as reinforcement activity during the class or can be given as homework. This unit can be also used as assessment during the assessment week.

Selecting Good Pre School for your Child

These days education industry is growing so fast that every parent has question WHICH PRE SCHOOL IS GOOD? There are so many preschools at every corner of the lane and each of them has some different attractive schemes for parents. So it becomes so difficult for each parent to pick right school for the child.

FEW POINTS WE CAN KEEP IN MIND FOR SELECTING PRE SCHOOL!!

1. The campus of school should be child friendly. The campus should have CCTV camera.

2. The teaching staff should be well trained and child friendly approach.

3. The school should have enough space for child to enjoy each activity carried in school.

4. There should be balance between curriculum and co-curriculum activities.

5. The utility areas should be clean. There should be some ancillary staff to attend children.

6. School should have well trained ancillary staff.

7. The student teacher ratio. Idle ratio is 10:1 which is manageable.

FEW POINTS FOR SELECTING PRE SCHOOL ON BASIS OF CURRICULUM 

These days school have theory based curriculum.

1. Reggio Emlia Approach

2. Howard Gardner – Multiply Intelligence Approach

3. Jean Piaget – Progressive Approach

4. Madam Maria – Montessori Approach

Mostly school have MULTIPLY INTELLIGENCE for child’s holistic development.

There are school which follows more than one approach. There is nothing wrong in it. This approaches help them to be more focused on to development skills of children.

As parent we need to keep in mind that our child should have over all development with lots of fun at school. Going to school should not be torture for child.

I believe that child goes to school to learn basic social behaviour and  to understand that the world is huge place to interact with. If this is your purpose as parent than curriculum doesn’t matter much. Because actual curriculum starts at Grade one.

I request don’t run after board(CBSE, ICSE, IB or STATE BOARD) preschool don’t have any board. But please select a preschool that makes you feel that your child is safe and in good hands for development.

Hopefully I am satisfying much of the queries of new parents.

Thank you

Happy Parenting😊
