So, basically this critical element of reading involves the understanding that the words we speak are made of separate units of sound. These sounds are then blended together to produce actual words when pronounced correctly. Under this element, the skills taught also involve hearing the words and being able to produce the separate sounds that do make up a sound. We do this, rather we realize it or not, by dividing words into these separate sounds and realizing, by hearing, words that sound alike or different.

b) Phonics - This is the aspect of reading instruction that involves thinking through how written language was created. We actually spoke long before anything was ever written, so phonics was used daily, without even realizing. To create a written language, people had to somehow take the sounds that were created when words were spoken and figure out to write that out in such a way that could be read. When people began to do this, they quickly figured out that a set of rules must be ...
