Through our work in reading we have spent a good deal of time on sounding out nonsense words. As this work comes home, do you ever wonder what in the world we are doing?
The ability to blend random sounds to form a word is an important skill for our children to have. It encourages our readers to rely on their phonics skills to read correctly, rather than simply guessing the word based on the content of “clues” they have encountered on their page. As our readers become more advanced, they will be exposed to muli-syllabic words. Their strong phonics skills will help them progress nicely through these words as most will have to be sounded out and not guessed.
