Phonics is an essential building block in helping children learn to read with confidence. It teaches the relationship between letters and the sounds they make, enabling children to decode words by sounding them out. This gives young readers a clear strategy for tackling new or unfamiliar words and helps develop accuracy, fluency and early spelling skills. When children learn phonics systematically and practise regularly, they build a strong foundation that supports all future reading and writing.
