Worth a watch to help your children learn phonics correctly 📕

✨PHONICS ✨ Did you know we’re actually learning sounds here, not letter names? One of the biggest misconceptions about phonics is that children simply need to learn the alphabet. In reality, reading starts with recognising and hearing sounds, then learning how to blend them together to read words. That’s why phonics programmes don’t teach sounds alphabetically and why many schools pair sounds with actions, songs or pictures to help children remember them. If phonics feels confusing, you’re not alone. As a teacher and phonics specialist, I know how overwhelming all the terminology can feel when you’re supporting your child at home. That’s exactly why I’ve created a FREE Phonics Support Guide for parents. Inside you’ll find: ✨ The stages of phonics explained simply ✨ Practical ways to support reading at home Let me know below and I’ll send you the link to download it for free ❤️ Save this reel so you can come back and practise the sounds together or send to someone you know starting school this September. #phonics #phonicsforkids #phonicsactivities #phonicsfun
