Teaching Phonics and Word Recognition
for Successful Decoding Skills
Prepared by:
4. Phonics involves the relationship between sounds and their spellings. The
goal of phonics instruction is to teach students the most common sound-
spelling relationships so that they can decode, or sound out, words.

6. Phonics allows children to be able to learn words they have never seen
before by sounding out the word letter by letter.

7. When children learn to read a word by sight it means that they will be able
to remember how to pronounce that word when they see it again. But if they
see a word they don’t recognize they won’t have the skills needed to
decode how to pronounce it. This is why phonics are important.

8. Teaching children to read with phonics means not only teaching them the
decoding skills needed to look at a word and pronounce it correctly but also
giving them the skills to know what to do when they discover a new word.
