Certificate in Phonics Teacher Training
Duration - 7 days
Objective of the Course
To equip teachers with effective phonics instruction strategies and techniques, enabling them to improve young learners’ reading, spelling, and writing skills.
“Learning to read is like learning to run. The more you practise, the faster you become. So, practise once a day, then head out and play, play, play!
Written language is basically a kind of code. English can be quite a tricky language. Learning phonics helps to crack that code. Phonics is a branch of linguistics where the sounds and physical properties of human speech are studied. Phonics is a way of teaching children how to read and write.”
