Teaching Phonics: a sequence of teaching activities

Successful phonics teaching will use a variety of multisensory activities to embed in the learner's brain a TRIANGLE OF MEANING: that is the relationship between a letter sound. a CLUEWORD beginning with that sound, and the LETTER NAME. The whole triangle should be taught from the outset. To read an article suggesting a sequence of activities to break down this teaching, click on the title link above.
For a practical day of  teaching ideas, tips and activities, think about booking a course.  Click Dyslexia, learning, Games and Puzzles  for more information.
