In the initial years of a child, language learning occurs. In the language development of a child, parents and teachers play important roles. But unfortunately, because inapt language teaching systems are used and also due to lack of suitable language learning environment, many children struggle to read, write and spell well in English. Commonly used language learning techniques like rote learning or memorizing prove useless. Whereas, phonics methodology is quite productive for language teaching and learning. Thus, phonics should be necessarily used.

Children benefit from Phonics in following ways:

• Blends and reads words independently and correctly from very early on.
• Develops healthy reading habits from start.
• Eager to learn new words and build vocabulary.
• Develops accurate letter formations.
• Does not depend on rote learning to spell words.
• Comprehends English language better.
• Improves imaginative writing ability.
• Encourages liking for English language.

Hence, Phonics reduces any learning related stress while easing the whole process by which children learn to read, write and spell. In turn children do well in school work and achieve academic success. Children then learn to use English as an instrument to increase their knowledge pool. Children show confidence leading to their personality development.
