Beginning to read stories for themselves is exciting for young readers. Success and confidence at this stage is the vital foundation of life-long reading.

What is the phonics method of reading?

Phonics is the name we give the system of sounds and letters that make up our language. Over the period of time that children spend learning to read, they need to develop their understanding of knowledge by:

matching sounds they hear to letters of the alphabet
building words from alphabet sounds that they already know: m-u-m, c-a-t

blending two or more sounds together, e.g. str as in street, strange
