principles of good phonics instruction
phonological awareness should be developed before instruction focuses on letter-sound relations.
phonics instruction should develop an understanding that letters represent sounds.
phonics instruction should develop a knowledge of the letters by name and identifying both upper and lower-case.
good phonics instruction is embedded in direct instruction while reading connected texts, rather than in worksheets.
good phonics instruction involves practice reading words in isolation and in stories as well as practice in writing words through dictation or by invented spelling.
