This document summarizes a workshop for parents on teaching phonics. It explains that phonics involves teaching the sounds that make up words as a code for reading and writing. The workshop covers the progression through six phases of phonics instruction, from basic sound recognition to spelling rules. It provides examples of phonics elements like graphemes, phonemes, blending and segmenting. The goal is for parents to understand how phonics is taught so they can support their children's learning at home through games and activities involving letters, sounds and reading.
