The advantage of phonics over simply teaching the alphabet is that once they have mastered the main sounds, they can then read many English words! It is a method of reading instruction that breaks language down into its simplest components.
Children learn the sounds of individual letters first, then the sounds of letters in combination and in simple words. Simple reading exercises with a controlled vocabulary reinforce the process.
A well-designed phonics program also teaches the most common spelling, pronunciation, and syllable division rules needed to figure out which sound to use when. It can also improve your spelling, even if you manage to read very well.
Phonics helps to develop a good solid sight vocabulary so that they do not need to sound out every single word they come across in their reading.
