FAQ
What is phonics?
Phonics teaches children how letters and letter combinations map to sounds, so they can decode unfamiliar words instead of memorising each one. English has 26 letters but around 42 main sounds, which is why digraphs exist (sh, ch, th, ai, ee).
When should a child start?
Most programmes start at age 3–4 (K1–K2): single letter sounds first, then digraphs, magic e and vowel teams. K2 to early primary is the sweet spot. Older children can take accelerated classes, but basic sounds should still be checked first rather than skipped.
What should I look for in a course?
① Full coverage: all 42 main sounds, digraphs, magic e, vowel teams. ② Class size: 4–8 children gives everyone speaking time. ③ Teacher training: Jolly Phonics, Read Write Inc or equivalent. ④ Assessment, levelling and parent reports. ⑤ A trial lesson. ⑥ Decodable readers to consolidate, not just worksheets.
Synthetic vs analytic phonics?
Synthetic phonics teaches individual sounds and blends them (/c/ /a/ /t/ → cat); it is the mainstream approach in England and covers Jolly Phonics and Read Write Inc. Analytic phonics starts from whole words and analyses the sounds inside them. Both are used, but a systematic, clearly sequenced programme gives more consistent results.
Do children still need sight words?
Yes. High-frequency irregular words (the, said, was) cannot be decoded and have to be learned separately. Jolly Phonics includes 72 tricky words in its later stages. Decoding is the main strategy; word recognition supports it.
Common misconceptions?
① Assuming phonics removes the need to learn words. ② Drilling sounds without reading practice (decodable readers matter). ③ Rushing ahead before basic sounds are secure, which causes confusion.
