Phonics (Reading Program)

Phonics is an approach to teaching learners how to read that focuses on connecting the letters associated with words to their corresponding sounds.

Programs based on phonics focus on helping to bridge the gap between what children see on paper and what they hear or say out loud. A dedicated reading phonics program offers support in various ways as students learn.

Since nearly a third of students are behind on reading proficiency by the fourth grade, an early reading program can have a huge impact on later years.
