Phonetic sound Devices as the Initial Step in Reading of Grade One-Masipag

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Phonics refers to associating letters or letter groups with the sound they represent. (1) Phonics is the system of teaching reading that builds on the alphabetic principle, a system of which a central component is the teaching of correspondences between letters or groups of letters and their pronunciations. In other words, phonics refers to associating letters or letter groups with the sound they represent. (2) Phonics refers to a method for teaching speakers of English to read and write that language. Phonics involves teaching how to connect the sounds of spoken English with letters or groups of letters (e.g., that the sound /k/ can be represented by c, k, ck, or ch spellings) and teaching them to blend the sounds of letters together to produce approximate pronunciations of unknown words. Phonics, when taught properly, is a method by which children learn to read and spell correctly in the same lessons. They learn to hear the different sounds in the spoken words and learn to write the corresponding letters in proper left-to-right order. In other words, they learn to spell correctly. Reading and writing should go hand in hand because when taught together, each reinforces the other in the child's mind.

METHODS

This study focused on the readiness of a child to read. It is need an intervention on arousing the interest of pupils. This study is one of the Instructional Materials a particular Teachers it inside the classroom. Questionnaire checklist was the main research tool. Purposive sampling technique, Weighted Mean, and Pearson's r was utilized as statistical tools.

RESULTS

Pearson's r with the degree of freedom 0.001 is the statistical treatment was used in this research. As a result, tabulated data, the findings was reject the Ho and accept the Ha. Therefore, the action research namely The Phonetic sound Devices as the Initial Step in Reading is highly acceptable and beneficial.

DISCUSSIONS

The aim of this research is to help the Grade 1 pupils to improve their pronunciation, comprehension and their ability to read simple words. Begin with sounds to familiarize our pupils with the different alphabet and continuing practices, supervising, follow up at home may help our pupils to no one left behind in reading.
