Learn To Read with Hooked on Phonics
Phonics is the association between the letters in our alphabet and the sounds in our spoken language. Research has shown that a strong understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds helps children learn to read. That's because the sounds letters make are the building blocks of words. For example, by combining the sounds made by the letters c, a, t, children can read cat. When children learn to recognize letter sounds and combine them to read words, they are developing important skills they need for learning to read. Research has demonstrated that a strong understanding of the relationship between letters and sounds is fundamental in learning to read, and that exposure to reading helps reinforce these fundamental skills. Hooked on Phonics programs combine practice in decoding and pronouncing words with reading books to allow children to use these skills in reading for meaning.
