Phonics teaches the relationship between letters and sounds. Children use these relationships to read words by blending sounds and to spell by identifying the sounds they hear.
Try short, regular sessions. Say sounds together, blend simple words, read suitable books and revisit familiar patterns. Keep practice encouraging and manageable.
