INTRODUCTION

Basic Phonics 2 is the continuation of Basic Phonics 1. Its simple and child-friendly interface offers young learners an engaging way to master the essential skills of phonics: phonemic awareness, letter-sound relationship, blending and segmenting.

Basic Phonics 2 focuses on the teaching of two additional topics:

1. Phonemes (sounds) and their associated graphemes (letters) not covered in Basic Phonics 1.

2. Phonemes already introduced in Basic Phonics 1, but with different graphemes to represent them.

With the additional material covered in Basic Phonics 2, the essentials of learning phonics is complete.

Learning objectives:

  • differentiate the sounds in words (phonemic awareness)
  • read out letters by their names and sounds (letter-sound relationship)
  • apply phonics skills to read (decode) words
  • apply phonics skills to spell (segment) words

TEACHING STRATEGY

  • Use “learning is playing, playing is learning” strategy to engage young learners.
  • Use phonics as the primary first method to teach children to read.
  • Teach phonics in a systematic way across the programme.
  • Develop listening, reading and writing skills.
  • Use a multisensory approach to teaching so that children learn using all their senses. This is vital because all children learn differently.
  • Use repetition strategy to strengthen phonics skill. (Repeated activities to strengthen phonics skill.)

THE PHONICS LESSON

Children are taught:

1. Recognizing sound-letter relationship

Children are taught the phonemes* and the letters that represent them.
Examples: /s/-s /æ/-a /t/-t

* Phoneme is the smallest sound units capable of conveying a distinct meaning in the English language.

2. Blending sounds to form simple words

Children learn to blend or merge sounds together to form simple words.
Examples: /s/ + /æ/ + /t/ → /sæt/ or ‘sat’

3. Segmenting words into individual sounds

Children learn to segment or break a word into individual phonemes that make up the word.
Examples: sat → /s/ + /æ/ + /t/
