Un'app colorata e amichevole per insegnare l'alfabeto fonetico ai bambini!

This app is a colourful, friendly app aimed at teaching the Phonics alphabet to kids in a fun and easy way. Phonics is a method for teaching reading and writing of the English language by developing learners' phonemic awareness in order to teach the correspondence between these sounds and the spelling patterns that represent them.

Teaching children the sounds made by individual letter or letter groups (for example, the letter “c” makes a k sound), and teaching children how to merge separate sounds together to make it one word (for example, blending the sounds k, a, t makes CAT). This type of phonics teaching is often referred to as “synthetic phonics”.

Why is it important?

Phonics instruction teaches children how to decode letters into their respective sounds, a skill that is essential for them to read unfamiliar words by themselves.

Keep in mind that most words are in fact unfamiliar to early readers in print, even if they have spoken knowledge of the word. Having letter-sound knowledge will allow children to make the link between the unfamiliar print words to their spoken knowledge.
