Is your child in kindergarten or nursery? Do not miss this!
You have probably heard of Phonics before, but never really thought about how this teaching method works or if it would help with literacy skills in school. Well, now you have the chance to find out, as I will explain everything simply and effortlessly!
Phonics is a vital part of the curriculum, and it makes the children confident readers and enhances their reading, speaking, and writing skills. However, have you wondered if you can make your child read with Phonics in a fun and easy way?
At House of Soft Skills - HOSS, we believe that reading with phonics at a young age helps lay the sturdy foundation for robust literacy skills in life. Our experienced and trained teachers use the engaging and straight forward Phonics activities for kids so that a child can have stress-free experiences and their Phonics learning journey is elevated.
However, if you want to know about the fun and easy approach to learning Phonics for kids, then please remain connected with us.
Importance of Phonics and How HOSS is Helpful
Let us try to understand this simply by comparing two different children I came across while teaching them in the HOSS classroom- John and Emma. Both of them are 5 year old and I love teaching them!
JOHN
High sigh sight fright tight tonight
Flight bright fight light plight might
Knight night slight delight twilight
Right thigh highlight might
Midnight tightly spotlights sunlight moonlight
JOHN memorized all these 30 words
The parents were working hard to help John learn new words, but he keeps forgetting them. They focus on repeating these words repeatedly so the child remembers the spelling for a lifetime! I was a little startled to witness this, and recommended them HOSS-House of Soft Skills-Phonics classes for John.
EMMA
EMMA on the other hand learnt ONLY the Rule! And practiced thirty words by using the “igh rule.”
“/Igh rule”
The /igh sound is a trigraph, meaning three letters that, when put together, create one sound.
After enrolling in the HOSS’s Phonics and Personality Development (PPD) Course, Emma learnt the “igh rule” in some time with the help of our experienced teachers. After that, Emma can pronounce the sounds of not just the above-mentioned thirty words but also other words that follow the same rule. And, all this with minimal effort from herself, as well as the teacher at HOSS and her parents!
Now, you can see that in the above two cases, the difference is in teaching methodology, which can create a vast difference in the effort spent by the child and the mother and in the overall child’s academic life.
Thus, I must say that Phonics not only makes the kids confident readers and helps develop command over the language, but also makes them confident and future-ready personalities. At HOSS, the students get a personalized learning experience. It helps them embrace the learning journey with confidence and at their own pace.
