OVERVIEW
As children become readers, they need to understand and learn the relationship between sounds and letters. The systematic and purposeful teaching of phonics provides a solid foundation for children to read and write in English.
What does an effective instructional phonics routine look like? How long should it be? What do effective phonics teachers do during these routines? How can teachers provide children with opportunities to apply what they learn during these routines? These frequently asked questions and other useful tips will be covered and discussed in this practical webinar for teachers of young learners.
