Scientific studies (such as the science of reading) have repeatedly found that explicit, systematic phonics instruction is the most effective way to teach children how to read. Without it, some children will end up having serious reading difficulties. Phonics instruction teaches children how to decode letters into their respective sounds, which is essential for them to read unfamiliar words by themselves. (theconversation.com)
