CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Phonics is a method for teaching people how to read and write an alphabetic language (such as English, Arabic or Russian). It is done by demonstrating the relationship between the sounds of the spoken language (phonemes), and the letters or groups of letters (graphemes) or syllables of the written language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Letter recognition, also known as alphabet recognition, is the ability to identify letters by name, shape, and sound. Letter naming is recognizing letter shapes and associating them with a letter name. Letter-sound knowledge is determining what sounds are associated with a letter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Letter-sound knowledge (also called ‘graphemic knowledge’) helps students to decode written language and teach themselves new words, since students can use letter-sound patterns to say the word, even if it is unfamiliar to them. Difficulties with these skills are hallmarks of the struggling reader.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Is The Alphabetic Principle? Connecting letters with their sounds to read and write is called the “alphabetic principle.” For example, a child who knows that the written letter “m” makes the /mmm/ sound is demonstrating the alphabetic principle.

Detailed explanation-5: -By consistently repeating the same letter sounds to them, you can help your child more easily pick up on them. A great idea might be to focus on introducing your child to one letter sound at a time. You could make a “letter of the week” jar for your child.
