Parents guide to phonics

How is phonics taught in schools?

Children start to learn to read as soon as they start school at the age of 5. However, many children start before.

The first lesson in phonics is teaching children to recognise and differentiate between different sounds. This typically starts by asking children to listen to sounds that you can hear, such as the sounds that animals make, or sounds you hear when you go outside.
