Phonics instruction teaches readers to decode words by sounding out letters and letter combinations. It builds a foundation for reading by helping children understand the relationship between written symbols and sounds. Phonics and phonemic awareness, which is understanding that words are made up of individual sounds, allow children to decode words and lead to improved reading fluency and comprehension over time. Research shows that the ability to recognize words accounts for most of a child's reading comprehension in early grades, so phonics is critical for reading success.ENGLISH COMPOSITION II WRITING GUIDE (REVISED JANUAR.docx

Chinese students face many difficulties when learning English, including with sounds, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, culture and idioms. Specifically, they struggle with English phonemes, stress, rhythm, intonation, consonant and vowel sounds. Grammar challenges include parts of speech, tenses, pronouns, word order and prepositions. Vocabulary is difficult due to false cognates, small verbs and idioms. Pronunciation of consonant clusters, linking and reductions are ongoing hurdles as well. Mastering these areas requires significant practice to overcome the differences between Chinese and English.Entry #2
