Understanding Sounds

The Orton-Gillingham approach helps us become better readers by teaching us about the sounds in words. It starts with phonemic awareness, which means knowing that words are made up of individual sounds, called phonemes. For example, the word 'cat' has three phonemes: /c/, /a/, and /t/. Once we can hear these sounds, we learn how letters and groups of letters represent these sounds. This is called phonics. When you see the letters 'sh', you know they make the /sh/ sound, like in 'ship'. Decoding means using your phonics knowledge to sound out and read new words. By practicing these skills, reading becomes easier and more fun!
