What Phonics Teachers in Surat Are Working With
In Surat classrooms
- Surat children attend Gujarat State Board, CBSE and ICSE schools, with Gujarati-medium and English-medium classrooms
- How early English print is taught through sounds differs from school to school
- Many children meet English mainly in the classroom
A common pattern
- A child can sing the alphabet song and name the letters
- But stops at a new word like chip or frog
- Letter names do not tell a child which sounds to blend
Many home languages
- Families may speak Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Odia, Bhojpuri or another language at home
- English may be a school language more than a home language
- Phonics gives children one method that works on any new English word
Many Surat classrooms bring together children whose home languages differ, so English is often met mainly at school. A systematic phonics method works on any new English word, whatever the home language. Level 1 gives you that method, along with the practice to hear short vowels, such as in cat, cut and cot, clearly enough to teach them.
