Learning Made Fun: Live Phonics Classes from iSchooling

If you’re a parent of a young reader, you’ve probably heard a lot about phonics classes. Here’s all you need to know about how your child will learn in phonics classes – and how you can assist your child to learn phonics at home while having fun!

What is the significance of phonics?

Through phonics classes, children will be able to grasp what they read swiftly and naturally, without stumbling over words, in order to do so. That process is aided by phonics. At iSchooling, we put utmost importance on learning through phonics classes. 

How do we teach phonics?

In a systematic and sequential manner. Before moving on, iSchooling teachers offer children lots of practice with phonics classes. Your kid will read short, simple books that contain the letter sounds or words they are learning. You may assist kids in practicing by having similar books and study material available at home.

Here are some more ideas for at-home phonics reinforcement to make it fun:

• Team up with our teachers. Inquire about ways to reinforce what has been taught in phonics classes and reading outside of class, and express any concerns you may have.
• Every day, listen to your youngster read. Encourage your youngster to sound out a word if they get stuck. If they still can’t comprehend it, give them the term so they don’t give up.
• Increase your understanding. “What do you believe will happen next?” or “What did he mean by that?” are examples of questions to ask. 
• Reread some of your favourite novels. It’s fine if your youngster wants to reread novels he or she enjoyed in the past. In reality, it’s a win-win situation!
• Read it out loud. Choose books and study material from online phonics classes about themes that interest your child (our teachers have some wonderful suggestions), and read them aloud, giving each character a different voice.
• Share the happiness. Have a lot of books and periodicals around the house to show your youngster how much you appreciate reading. You’ll revise the syllabus of phonics classes and instil a lifetime love of reading in your children.

Fluency in reading is improved

Kids’ reading fluency, which is a reading “superpower” that allows students to read with speed, accuracy, and emotion, improves dramatically as they gain phonemic awareness. Fluency in reading improves a student’s ability to read with intonation and intensity, which translates into expressive writing abilities.

The use of phonics classes, sometimes known as synthetic phonics, is an effective and efficient way of teaching young kids to read. As a result, phonics is the predominant approach for teaching reading in many English-speaking nations’ education systems.

There are about 44 sounds or phonemes in English. Given that the language uses just 26 letters and that many sounds have several spellings, it is advantageous for children to understand the links between letters and sounds in a plain and unambiguous manner.

Online phonics classes focus on the link between sounds and the methods in which they might be spelt to accomplish this. 

It focuses on letter and sound correspondences to help pupils break down printed words into their component sounds and then reassemble them to read the entire word.
