Phonics is a TOOL

It's not just a tool...its THE MOST IMPORTANT tool.

137 X 37 = ?

Think about it like this...

​

Let's say we are in a class and the teacher gives you a problem, say...

​

" What is 137 X 37?"

If you were not given a tool to help you solve this problem, then you would have to try to solve it in your head. As you take time to try to work out the problem, you start to feel anxious, pressured and stressed. This leads to confusion which causes you to take more time. The more time you take, the more anxious you become. The more anxious you become, the more confused you are. You, therefore, enter a vicious cycle wherein the end, you give up by saying the infamous,

 

"I don't know".

Now, let's say you are given a tool. This tool is called a calculator. 

How would you feel?

 

Relieved?

​

With this tool, all those anxious feelings immediately disappear as you have a tool to help you overcome your problem. 

Reading and writing is no different. 

​

With no tool, children will feel anxious and stressed. With the phonics tools, children will feel relieved. Over time, children's application of the phonics tools increases in speed and accuracy and thus, children's reading and writing confidence grows. 

 

The phonics tool we teach children to use is their very own fingers.

​

It is with them 24/7, and it's impossible to lose!
