Purposes of Phonics Instruction
• Establishes grapheme-phoneme relationships and the use of graphophonics cues in reading. This is termed the alphabetic principle.
• Develops word recognition based on their visual and orthographic features. This process is called decoding.
• Aids in building reading fluency and automaticity.
English Syllable Patterns
• Closed: Short vowel ending with consonant
• Open: Long vowel, no consonant ending • Vowel Digraph: vowel spelled with 2+
letters • C-le at the ends of words • R-controlled vowel • Vowel-consonant-e long vowel pattern • Idiosyncratic

English Phonics
• Consonants and vowels • Consonant blends and digraphs • Long and short vowels • R-controlled vowels • Vowel digraphs • Diphthongs • Homophones & homographs
e.g. addition, deletion, segmentation 4. Basic Syllable Rules e.g. word chunking skill 5. Acquisition of Phonics Rules
e.g. When a syllable has 2 vowels together, the first vowel is usually long and the second is silent. Examples: pain, eat, boat, say, grow. When a syllable ends in a silent "e", the silent "e" is a signal that the vowel in front of it is long. Examples: make, kite and use.

What is Phonics？
A way of teaching reading and spelling that stresses symbol-sound relationship
It is the understanding that there is a predictable relationship between the letters (graphemes) of written language and the individual sounds (phonemes) of spoken language
