Phonics is a method of teaching reading through letter-sound recognition. It involves developing phonemic awareness, which is understanding single sound units called phonemes and the letters or letter groups (graphemes) that represent them.
LiteracyPlanet supports the development of phonemic awareness by providing primary school children with activities that develop their understanding of letter-sound (grapheme/phoneme) correspondences – how letters and combinations of letters make up particular sounds and words in the English language.
