Phonics Practice Sheet
Introduction
Welcome to the Phonics Practice Sheet! Phonics is an important tool for reading and understanding written language. In this practice sheet, you will learn the basics of phonics, and practice applying them to different words.
Basics of Phonics
Phonics is a way to learn how to read and spell words. It is based on the sounds of letters and the way they are combined to make words.
When you read a word, you can break it down into its individual sounds. For example, the word “cat” can be broken down into the three sounds “c”, “a”, and “t”.
These individual sounds are called phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language.
When you learn phonics, you learn how to recognize the different phonemes in a word and how they combine to form the word.
