Ordinary human experience has demonstrated that sound and certain grammatical structures operating as sound bytes enable us to read better. What we read on the printed page is sound. Though what we read appears as something we see, that writing has to be mentally transposed into what we say. Phonics combines these enabling reading the right way. Phonics enables proper English pronunciations and spellings resulting in strong communication capabilities.
With age-old look-and-say method (i.e A for Apple), enables the child to read only those words that they have seen. The best time to introduce to a child is between 4 to 6 years, however if children above 6 years and upto 9 years have not developed good English reading, speaking and spelling skills, phonics will definitely help.
Jolly Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching literacy through Synthetic Phonics. With actions for each of the 42 letter sounds, the multi-sensory method is very motivating for children and teachers, who can see their students achieve.
