Can You Read....?
 So how does it feels like?
- If you were to read for information,are you happy
for not able to read it?

- For the remedial pupils or pupils that are having

learning disabilities to read, they may feel the
same disappointment.
 Before we are able to read...we
must know...?
- The symbols (letters)

- Sound of the letter

- Word
 What is PHONICS
Phonics involves the relationship between
sounds and their spellings.
A method of teaching reading based on
the sounds of letters, groups of letters,
and syllables.
Phonics instruction goal is to teach
students the most common sound-spelling
relationships so that they can decode, or
sound out, words.
This decoding ability is a crucial element
in reading success.
 What is PHONICS
Phonics-based methods of teaching
reading are commonly contrasted with
whole language approaches, which
emphasize learning whole words in
meaningful contexts.
 Terms in Phonics
Phonology
Phoneme
Grapheme
Vowels
Consonants
Phonemic Chart
Blending
Segmenting
Grapheme-phoneme relationship
 Why Phonics ?
Curriculum changed KBSR to KSSR
- Introduction of the Kurikulum Standard
Sekolah Rendah in 2011
Efficient way of teaching reading
- 43 common speech sounds (phonemes)
- 89 common spellings in English
- Provides foundation from the smallest
unit differs from the whole language
approach
 Why Phonics ?
Fastest way to learn to read
-learning the code is the quickest way to
learn how to read accurately and
independently

Better speller
-Pupils are better equipped to apply their
prior knowledge on letter sound
recognition and sound spelling patterns
 Why Phonics ?
Less rote memorization
-phonics make use of prior knowledge (the
sound spelling relationship) to apply to
new learning.
 Why Phonics ?
Works better for Ps with learning
disabilities/remedial readers
-remedial readers have strengths to build
upon
- Phonemic awareness helps the Ps with
auditory and visual style of learning
 Why Phonics ?
Builds self- esteem
- Ps can see their improvement in
recognising the phonemes and apply in
their reading skill.

 What is Blending?
Blending is;
- involves pulling together individual
sounds or syllables within words

Segmenting is
-involves breaking words down into
individual sounds or syllables.
- Example

- cat ----- c/a/t

 Now, it is your turn
Get into group of 6
Discuss two blending activities and
Two segmenting activities
 Sharing is caring.
Fill in the reflection form.

Think of whether it is possible for

conducting the activities of blending
