Question 1

What should be taught in phonics lessons?

Accepted Answer

The basics of phonics instruction involve teaching letter-sound relationships and identifying letter shapes and names. This will help students build a strong foundation on which they can begin expanding their reading skills as they work toward proper pronunciation and spelling. When you sign up for our phonics lessons, our certified teachers know what it takes to help you improve and will cater your lessons to suit your individual needs. They’ll provide you with all the tools to make learning how to read easier than ever.

Question 2

What is a phonic lesson plan?

Accepted Answer

A phonics lesson plan refers to what you will focus on during your phonics lessons. For one student, that might involve focusing on spelling, but for another, it could revolve around identifying different sounds. Because each student is different, at TakeLessons, our teachers customize their lesson plans to align with each student’s goals, interests, and skill sets. Your personalized lesson plan will focus on certain topics that suit your needs and include exercises and activities to help you practice what you learn during your sessions.
