AimsAims

1. To teach students the basic ideas about reading with phonics.

2. To show students that when they read with phonics, they can read words by saying the sounds that letters make.

3. To teach students how to read sight words. Sight word is a word that does not follow the normal phonic rules.

4. To show students how to use the dictionary to find the pronunciation of words.

Introduction to PhonicsHello!Hello!

Phonics

PhonicsPhonics is the process of learning through the relationship between letters and combination of letters and the sounds that go with them.

helps you ‘sounding out’ new words.

Phonics approach

English has only 26 letters

5 written vowels: (母音 )

21 written consonants (子音 )

a, e, i, o, u

20 different vowel sounds

24 consonant sounds

But 44 different sounds

Difficult to read out English words because:

1. Single letter - different sounds

apple

always

aboutacorn

artist

Try to read out these words

2. Different letters –same sound

be police

tree quay

sea people

piece complete

seize key

Difficult to read out English words because:

VowelsShort vowels

a, e, i, o, u

These letters are called vowels. You can sometimes hear their sounds in the middle of words.

Trace the vowel sound in each word:

cat nest win

rock tub

a, e, i, o, ua, e, i, o, u

A E I O U

B _ g H _ n P _ n D _ t T _ b

R _ g P _ n T _ n F _ g M _ d

S _ t T _ n S _ p L _ t F _ n

P _ t S _ t Ch _ p St _ p B _ n

L _ p L _ t F _ g Ch _ p Cl _ b

Put the short vowel sounds into these

words. Say the words.

Long vowels:

Sometimes the vowels ‘say their names’ i.e., they have the same sound as letters of the alphabet.

When they do this they are called LONG vowels.A : play, cage, way

E : see, feet, eat

I : pie, kite, try

O : rope, old, grow

U : tube suit, you

‘Magic e’

When ‘e’ is written at the end of a 3 letter word or a 4 letter word, the short vowel sound changes to a long vowel sound.

Syllables and Word stress

English words break into sound units, or beats, which are called ‘syllables’.

Syllables

Every syllable contains at least one vowel.

SyllablesWe need to say words aloud to find out how many syllables they have.

We have to think about how they sound, not how they look.

SyllablesBreaking words into syllables will help us to work out how to spell them.
