LEARNING TO READ ENGLISH USING PHONICS

Because English is not a phonetic language, it is not written in the same way that it sounds, it can be difficult for learners to start writing.  In UK schools, and now in schools all over the world, young children are being taught literacy through phonics.  There are several steps to follow when using synthetic phonics to learn how to read and write English:
1.  Recognition of all of the 26 sounds of the alphabet, followed by the additional sounds which make up all 42 sounds of the English language.
2. Learning and practice of letter formation
3. Blending these sounds together to make short words.
4. Being able to identify the different sounds which make up a word.
5. Learning by heart the non-decodeable words in the English language, that is those which cannot be spelt out using phonics.

Peppa Pig have a couple of products which help children on their way with Phonics and short word learning.
