IntroductionIn this assignment a range of phonetics will be mentioned and two of them will be discussed in more detail. The two phonics that will be examined are synthetic and analytical. Various sources will be studied in order to answer the question above. The sources show that synthetic phonics seems to be the most effective in the teaching process compared to analytical. History of PhoneticsPhonetics is derived from the Roman text, The Doctrine of Littera. It is the systematic teaching of the sounds conveyed by letters and groups of letters and includes teaching children to combine and blend them to read or write words (Stickland, D Page 5), such as “shh”, so that children learn for this, they will first learn the sound of the letter and then pronounce it with simple words, and in this case they will put their finger on their lip, another example can be the word “cat”, it can be read from its three sounds: cat which then represents a phoneme. Therefore, phonics should be taught as needed, in the context of learning to read and write, and teachers should ensure that children are familiar with phonics patterns. Teachers must also ensure that they teach phonics using the correct method as it can be taught. in various ways. Phonics is the sound of the 26 letters or alphabets and the sounds of the group of letters they represent. All phonics helps the learner focus on the relationship between sounds as symbols as an important strategy for word recognition. Overall, effective phonics incorporates phonics awareness, provides sufficient practice in reading words, and leads to word recognition. There are several types of phonics approaches, including analogy-based, integrated, synthetic...... middle of paper ...... Government policy was clear and suggested that phonics should be taught and to do this, it was ensured that teachers must have the necessary knowledge to carry out the task. This is why phonics was taught in nursery classes, using happy phonics as a basis. John Stannard, the former director, says that "if you have a child who pronounces a word, it is useful for him to know what that the word means.” While experts debate the best method of teaching reading, teachers remain the key to this strategy's success. Reports from Ofsted suggest that literacy is not good enough, this may be because there could be confusion about what changes have already been made to strategies. Stannard says many teachers are too slow to teach and should, by the end of the first year, have mastered all of the basic code..
