Learning to read is fun with phonics
Teaching reading and writing in English can be challenging. Phonics is a method of teaching young learners how to read by encouraging them to make the connection between sounds and letter shapes. It has become an increasingly popular tool in teaching not only reading, but also writing, handwriting, spelling and even pronunciation. The session will examine how teachers can use phonics to teach young learners in their own EFL classrooms. It will explore how phonics can help students gain confidence in reading and writing in English, particularly when their first language uses a different alphabet. There will be demonstrations of hands-on, fun classroom activities that lead learners from the basics of gross-motor skill development to reading and writing for themselves in English.
