WHAT IS PHONICS?\r
Before learning to read or spell – children must learn the letters of the alphabet and what sounds (phonemes) they represent. Our first three phonics-based apps help children understand that a written letter or groups of letters such as ‘sh represents one sound (phoneme). There are 44 phonemes in the English language to learn. Learning to pair letters and sounds accelerates reading readiness.\r
