By reverting back to the basic method of synthetic phonics you can help get your child’s reading skills up to grade level and make reading an exciting activity that they are eager to indulge in.
Synthetic phonics teach kids to approach words on the basic level of letters and sounds. This makes reading skills more accessible for those that have been slow to gain them using the alternative method of teaching, analytic phonics. Children are taught to approach the concept of reading letter by letter and sound by sound. As they find that they are able to sound out the words before them, they gain confidence, and an eagerness to learn more.
