Phonics is the ability to identify that there is a relationship between the individual sound (phonemes) of the spoken language and the letters (graphemes) of the written language.
There are 2 main approaches to teach phonics: synthetic phonics and analytic phonics.

1. Synthetic phonics is a highly systematic teaching program of sounds and their corresponding written symbols. 
It focuses on the segmentation and blending of sounds in words.



2. Analytic phonics is the analysis of whole words to detect phonetic or orthographic (spelling) patterns. 
By using onset and rime, children come to understand how to break words down rather than how to build them up.

Recommended Sequences of Phonics Instruction 有系統地教PHONICS
 ．Single consonants at the beginning of words (graphically different teach first, similar ones such as b and d, or m and w teach later.)
 ．Short vowels (in single syllable) and then long vowels
 ．Letter patterns and word families (onsets and rimes)
 ．Final e
 ．Digraphs (i.e., two letters one sound, such as ee, ea) and blends (fl, fr, bl.)
 ．Diphthongs
 ．Silent letters and inflectional endings
 ．Syllabication

Phonics drill is effective in meaningful texts and reading activities.
