Systematic Phonics Instruction
- What is systematic phonics instruction?
The primary focus of phonics instruction is to help beginning readers understand how letters are linked to sounds (phonemes) to form letter/sound correspondences and spelling patterns, and to help them learn how to apply this knowledge in their reading. Phonics instruction is systematic when all the major letter/sound (phonemes) correspondences are taught and they are covered in a clearly defined sequence.
- Why is systematic phonics instruction important?
Much debate has been made over how students learn to read. Much of that debate was put to rest by the National Reading Panel when they performed a meta-analysis on phonics instruction in 1997. Findings of the meta-analysis supported the conclusion that systematic phonics instruction helps children learn to read more effectively than non-systematic phonics instruction or programs without a phonics component.
- How does Lakeside use systematic phonics instruction?
At the core of the ReadyRead program is explicit, systematic phonics instruction. Students are lead through a series of phonics and phonemic awareness activities that are fast paced and multisensory in approach, keeping them constantly engaged in the learning process.
