What is Phonics?
Phonics is the connection between what we say and what we read. When your preschooler begins to understand that words are made up of letters and each letter has a different sound, she is on the road to becoming a fluent reader.
Phonetic success occurs as your child recognizes the individual letters, by sight, and learns to sound them out, one by one, while reading. If she comes across a new word, this will help her to decode the word by segmentation or blending.
Segmentation is the act of breaking the word into smaller chunks and sounding out each chunk. Then putting all of the chunks together to form the word as in seg - men - ta - tion.
Blending is the process of taking consonants and vowels and putting them together to form words as in ba + t. Blending is done most effectively through the clever use of ryhmes.
Learning to read is a multi-step process and different children will learn at different paces. Phonics is only 1 piece of the big picture. Fortunately, there are numerous games, websites, learning programs, and curriculums to aid in the process.

Phonics ni nini? Sauti ni uhusiano kati ya kile tunachosema na kile tunachosoma. Mtoto wako anapofahamu kwamba maneno yana herufi na kila herufi ina sauti tofauti, anaanza kusoma vizuri. Uwezo wa sauti huanza wakati mtoto wako anapotambua herufi za herufi moja kwa moja kwa macho yake na kujifunza kuzisikia moja kwa moja wakati akisoma. Ikiwa atapata neno jipya, hilo litamsaidia kufunua neno hilo kwa kugawanya au kuunganisha. Kutenganisha ni kitendo cha kuvunja neno katika vipande vidogo na kusikika kila kipande. Kisha kuweka vipande vyote pamoja kuunda neno kama katika seg - wanaume - ta - tion. Mchanganyiko ni mchakato wa kuchukua konsonanti na vokali na kuziweka pamoja ili kuunda maneno kama katika ba + t. Mchanganyiko hufanywa kwa ufanisi zaidi kupitia matumizi ya busara ya rhyme. Kujifunza kusoma ni mchakato wa hatua nyingi na watoto tofauti watajifunza kwa kasi tofauti. Phonics ni sehemu moja tu ya picha kubwa. Kwa bahati nzuri, kuna michezo mingi, tovuti, programu za kujifunza, na mipango ya masomo ya kusaidia katika mchakato huo.
