Question

Evaluate the negative impact caused by poor phonic instruction

Answer 1

Poor phonic instruction results to poor reading comprehension. Phonics are a crucial component of a structured literacy approach as they aid in quality reading comprehension. Many children who are subjected to poor phonic instruction lose fluency and understanding while reading simply because they do not decode the words they are reading correctly. This leads students to struggle to recognize words that they often do not know orally. Moreover, students subjected to poor phonic instruction have trouble spelling. Phonic instruction improves spelling ability because it emphasizes spelling patterns that become familiar from reading.
