Phonics Patterns refer to a set of sounds that help children learn how to correctly pronounce words and understand the relationship between letters and sounds. In grade 1, students are taught these phonics patterns to help them read words more easily.
Phonics Patterns in Grade 1
Letter Sounds: Children learn the alphabet and its basic sounds, such as "a," "b," and "c."
Vowel Sounds: Students learn the different sounds that vowels can make, like "a" in "cat" and "a" in "cake."
Blends: A combination of two letters that work together to make a sound, such as "bl" in "black" or "st" in "stop."
Digraphs: Two letters combined to make one sound, such as "sh" in "shoes" or "ch" in "chair."
How Phonics Patterns Help

Correct Spelling: Phonics helps children improve their writing skills by understanding how to combine letters to form words.
Increased Confidence: As students successfully apply these phonics patterns, they gain confidence in their language skills.
