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'.

Parents and teachers should prioritize teaching letter-sound correlation, a key principle of phonics, for 6-year-olds because it establishes a strong foundation for literacy development. At this age, children are forming critical connections between letters and the sounds they represent, which is essential for decoding words. Understanding these relationships enables young learners to tackle reading independently, improving their confidence and fostering a love for literature.

Phonics instruction aids in the development of critical reading skills that help children effectively sound out unfamiliar words. By grasping letter-sound correspondence, they can better analyze spelling patterns, recognize sight words, and enhance their writing abilities. This lays the groundwork for a seamless transition to more advanced reading and comprehension skills.

Moreover, children who struggle with phonics may experience frustration and lower self-esteem. Providing a structured phonics program ensures that every child, regardless of their initial abilities, can catch up and thrive. Consequently, investing time in phonics not only empowers students academically but also instills a lifelong passion for reading, which is vital for ongoing success in all subject areas. Parents and educators working together to reinforce these skills at home and in the classroom will create a harmonious approach to fostering literacy.
