Phonics and Whole Language Learning

Rating: 18
Site summary: Ideally, children should develop literacy through real life settings as they read together with parents or other caring adults. If parents and teachers work together and demonstrate mutual respect, children's learning will be reinforced at home and in the classroom.
We chose this site because it speaks specifically of how phonics can start to become inplemented at home before the child even starts school.
