Phonics Worksheets
Many parents of little readers must have heard about ABC phonics. However, many still have questions. What impact does it have on children’s reading abilities, if any? What is the best age to start teaching phonics to kids?
What is phonics?
Simply put, phonics is the connection between sounds and specific letters. Written language is a code that all people speaking the same language once agreed to use. All letters are associated with specific sounds. Children must learn this code in order to learn to read.
Everything is not that simple, though. There are many more sounds than letters in English, which means that one letter can represent two or even more sounds. There are letter combinations in which certain letters are not pronounced at all.
Phonics worksheets at Kids Academy will help your kids:
