Phonics Teaching Guide

Phonics is a style of teaching how to read. It includes matching sounds to letters or groups of letters. We will teach you the basics of phonics and the approaches to teaching it to children as a rewarding and important life skill offering a wide array of career opportunities. ‘Jolly Phonics’ is an interactive, diverse children-centric set of techniques for teaching how to read. We will show you the importance of teaching ‘Jolly Phonics’ and how to do it in various ways. Phonics teaching isn't limited to classrooms and lectures. The understanding and progress can be significantly enhanced by involving parents and guardians to teach it outside the school environment. In this light, learn to encourage parents and carers to become involved in the teaching process by working with children or wards during their spare time and informally boosting their learning.

Phonics awareness is the understanding of the spoken language with the ability to recognise and distinguish between the parts of speech. Explore various elements of speech that form the entirety of the English language and how to break them down into smaller units for better recognition and familiarity. We will show you the systematic assessment techniques used when teaching and record-keeping methods to ensure the best results. Each child is different with their unique abilities and learning styles. Identify the types of learners and use the proper techniques to support them. Finally, we go through common phonics challenges, how to solve them, how to deal with a deaf child and how to teach advanced phonics levels.
