Assignment 4-Phoncs

Phonics:

For the phonics prestest I scored da 9/10. The question I answered incorrectly was the appropriate age to begin phonics instruction. Interestingly enough on the post test I scored 7/10. Over all it seems that phonics is an integral part of a reading program. Research shows that phonics is only effective when taught in a systematic way. As we know all literacy instruction should be based on research and phonics should definitely be included in our instruction. My question about phonics is if it is detrimental to introduce phonics in a nonsystematic way. Meaning to say if teachers would point out phonetic rules outside of the systematic instruction, would that hinder the student’s reading progress?
