There are many phonetic sounds, each with its own unique sound. When two or more consonants are combined to create a new sound, it's called a digraph. Example: the sh digraph creates the /sh/ sound. Have kids look at the pictures and say the words aloud. Help them circle the images ending with /sh/, like 'wash'.

Letter-sound correlation, or phonics, is crucial for children aged 6-9 as it forms the foundation for reading and writing skills. Understanding the relationship between letters and their corresponding sounds enables children to decode words independently, fostering confidence in their literacy abilities. This skill is vital during a developmental stage where children are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn.

Research shows that phonics instruction significantly enhances reading proficiency, which correlates with overall academic success. When children grasp phonics, they can tackle unfamiliar words, leading to a more extensive vocabulary and improved comprehension skills. This fluency in reading also positively impacts other subjects, as the ability to interpret text is essential for understanding concepts in mathematics, science, and social studies.

Moreover, phonics instruction empowers parents and teachers to engage meaningfully with children’s literacy development. By nurturing these skills, they cultivate a love for reading, ensuring that children view it as an enjoyable and rewarding activity rather than a chore.

In summary, investing in phonics for early learners is essential not just for literacy, but also for creating independent, self-motivated learners who are well-equipped for future academic challenges.
