Phonics isn’t just about letters and sounds—it’s about structured decoding. This course breaks phonics down into logical steps, from foundational basics to more complex vowel patterns and word-building techniques. You’ll also examine how phonics applies across varied contexts and languages.
With modules covering context-based reading, advanced structures, and phonics in multilingual settings, this course is designed for educators and support staff wanting to approach reading development with clarity. It’s a smart choice for those who prefer theory with structure, not smoke and mirrors.
