Phonics Overview: Grades 2-6
Phonics Overview
Grades 2-6
• Systematic phonics instruction has a significant effect on reading achievement. Within the phonics instruction in Trophies, letter-sound correspondences are taught sequentially. The systematic instruction allows students to continually build on what they learn. The individual sounds represented by letters are blended to form words, and those words are applied in decodable text.
• Explicit instruction in decoding lessons provides students with various strategies, including understanding syllable types and patterns, as well as recognizing word structures such as prefixes, suffixes and root words to decode multi-syllabic words.
Charts on the following pages allow you to see the decoding/phonics skills taught per selection and the progression from Grade 2 to the upper grades where students receive direct instruction in decoding multi-syllabic words.
