PHONICS IN ELT

This leaflet is prepared to provide a quick reference to teachers on what phonics is and how it can be used to enhance learning . The list of "English Letter Sounds" is for teachers' reference only. It is not a prescribed list for learners.

Phonics is a useful tool to help learners gain proficiency in reading aloud and spelling. However, it may not always help learners make sense of a reading text, particularly in a secondor foreign language environment. Teachers also need to help learners develop skills in reading for meaning.
