Phonics vs Sight Words: Choosing the Best Method for Early Reading
Key Takeaways:
Phonics teaches children to decode new words by sounding out individual letters and sounds, while sight word instruction involves recognizing high-frequency words for quick recognition to improve reading fluency.
Phonics is boring, tedious, and impractical for teaching babies and toddlers to read. Furthermore, it does not work if a child is not yet verbal or has a speech delay. Another approach is required.
The Doman Method focuses on teaching all words as sight words with joy and enthusiasm. By using large, bold, and recognizable text, parents can effectively teach their babies and toddlers how to read. It does not require speech in order to learn how to read.
