For example, the words more, for, door, and oar all end with the same sound but are all represented by a different spelling.
The goal of phonics instruction is to help children grasp the idea that there is a logical, predictable, and organized relationship between the letters in the alphabet and spoken sounds.
The most effective phonics programs incorporate direct instruction that is structured, systematic have a clear step-by-step order of instruction , and incorporate multi-sensory elements. By teaching your students phonics in a systematic, explicit, and structured way, they can begin to sound out and decode new words.
It is a question that has come up more in recent years. Traditionally and historically, children have been taught using analytic phonics in which they analyze specific parts of a word. Children are taught to recognize larger chunks of a word, rather than the individual sounds or phonemes. On the other hand, synthetic phonics emphasizes hearing and identifying each phoneme in the word.
This approach could be more helpful for early learners as it allows educators to simplify their instruction and tackle phonics on a smaller, more consistent scale. One important note for educators is that this approach requires you to pronounce the phonemes as correctly as possible. You would be surprised by some of the bad habits we display when speaking to our children on a day-to-day basis. We take shortcuts around words and sentences, so be mindful of this when you are teaching your lessons.

Great question! We can pull in felt, elkonin boxes, unifix cubes or hand-motions to help students anchor the sounds they are working with.
When we represent sounds with letters, that is phonics instruction. If students are only doing the PA work with print, some may rely on visual memory which poor readers do rather than phonological memory. Phonics is essential as well, but the purpose of PA is to help students understand that words are made up of sounds and work to isolate, blend, segment and manipulate those individual sounds.
Our lessons are minutes, and then you would bridge into phonics instruction. I hope this answer was helpful! Thanks for sharing. I appreciate anything I can find on Literacy.
I am a Special Education teacher with 18 years experience. I was able to teach my son to read while he was an infant. At 16 months, he was reading at a first grade level. I started sharing strategies with friends and relatives and before I knew it, I was tutoring and consulting a lot.
I have an early reading academy. It has been a tremendously rewarding experience helping children to be early readers and remediating those who are not where they should be.
Thanks again for sharing this piece. Back to all. She has had the privilege of working as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, literacy coach, administrator, and adjunct professor. When she's not reading about reading, Marjorie loves to re-enact "Nailed It" baking challenges with her 2 kids and husband.
Comments Leah T. Drucker pm on August 3, Marjorie Bottari am on August 4, Susan am on September 3, Marjorie Bottari am on September 4, You can listen and blend these sounds together in the dark. Now, in order to read the word cat , students would need to see the letters: c, a, t, and sound them out.
They would need the lights on. In this case, we are talking about phonics. It involves letters and sounds. That letter-sound relationship is phonics, not phonological or phonemic awareness.
You still need to practice blending and segmenting sounds in words using letters. But that comes with phonics activities, not phonemic awareness activities. Before or while we learn phonics, we have to build phonological and phonemic awareness! Remember, that includes phonemic awareness, too! Of course not! But, does that mean we want to use the terms incorrectly? Also, of course not! After all, learning to segment and blend sounds in words is the most important aspect of phonological awareness.
Start big, work your way towards small. To help you remember the difference between phonological awareness and phonemic awareness, I made you this quick cheat sheet!
