Phonics
We start teaching our children phonics at the age of three after absorbing the world in a less structured way which is often achieved before age three. Phonics helps children to correlate an individual sound with its corresponding letter or letter group. The more easily they can hear, identify, and manipulate sounds, the easier it will be for them to decode new words when they are ready to read.
