Phonics, Grammar

1. Phonics, Grammar, and Reading Comprehension Strategies Teacher Training Session | Duration: 1 Hour | Interactive & Practical

2. Training Objectives By the end of the session, teachers will be able to: • Understand the importance of phonics, grammar, and reading comprehension in language learning • Apply effective classroom strategies for each component • Engage learners through fun, skill-based activities • Integrate phonics, grammar, and comprehension for holistic reading development

3. The Language Learning Triangle Phonics ➜ Builds decoding skills (How words sound) Grammar ➜ Builds structure (How sentences are formed) Comprehension ➜ Builds meaning (Understanding what is read) Together, they create confident and fluent readers.

4. Phonics – The Foundation of Reading Phonics teaches the relationship between letters and sounds. Key Strategies: • Introduce sounds through stories, songs, and actions • Blend sounds to form words (e.g., /c/ + /a/ + /t/ = cat) • Segment words into sounds for spelling practice • Reinforce through picture cards and rhyming games

5. Activity 1: Sound Hunt Objective: Reinforce letter-sound recognition. Task: Ask students to find classroom objects beginning with a chosen sound (e.g., /b/ – book, bag, ball). 💡 Tip: Turn it into a quick competition or treasure hunt to keep learners engaged.

6. Grammar – Building Blocks of Language Grammar helps learners express thoughts correctly and creatively. Effective Strategies: • Teach grammar in context (through stories, dialogues) • Use visuals and role-play to demonstrate usage • Move from examples to rules, not the other way around • Practice through sentence-building and error-correction games

7. Activity 2: Grammar in Action Objective: Make grammar usage meaningful. Task: Give each group a story picture. Ask them to write 3–4 sentences describing it using correct tenses and parts of speech. 💬 Discuss: Which grammar points came naturally? Which needed thinking?

8. Reading Comprehension – Making Meaning Comprehension is understanding and interpreting text. Strategies: • Pre-reading: Predict what the story is about from title/pictures • While reading: Ask guiding questions • Post-reading: Discuss characters, moral, or new words • Encourage inference and imagination

9. Activity 3: Read, Think, Respond Objective: Develop comprehension and critical thinking. Task: Read a short passage aloud. Ask: 1. What is happening? 2. Why did the character do that? 3. What would you do differently? 💬 This promotes deeper understanding beyond literal meaning.

10. Integrating Phonics, Grammar & Comprehension • Begin with sounds (Phonics) • Use learned words in sentences (Grammar) • Read simple stories using those sentences (Comprehension) This cyclic approach ensures language learning is connected and meaningful.

11. Reflection & Takeaways Reflect: • Which strategy will you try first in your class? • How can you make reading sessions more interactive? • What challenges might students face and how will you address them? Remember: Language grows when listening, speaking, reading, and writing work together.

12. Thank You! “Phonics gives sound, grammar gives shape, and comprehension gives sense.” Let’s build confident readers together!
