Reading is a central part of our daily lives. It is non-verbal communication used to share messages and information with others. Through print we are entertained, seek and provide information, gain knowledge, share experiences, and express emotions. Print is found everywhere: books, signs, recipes, menus, labels, advertisements, directions, contracts, internet, emails, texts, and more. As children become readers, they need to understand and use the relationship between letters and sounds to read words. Letters are the symbols used in print to represent the sounds. Phonics requires knowledge of letter recognition, sound recognition and their associations. This means that children must recognize letters in words, and then produce their corresponding sounds to read words. Fortunately, there are fun activities that you can do with your child to promote phonics!
