The teaching of phonics to help students read l uently and accurately

Background
Students in the school have always been found unable to pronounce words in sentences correctly
when answering teachers’ questions.  In response to this concern, enthusiastic teachers initiated an oral
programme requiring students to read storybooks aloud in order to provide more opportunities for them
to practise pronunciation and read aloud.  However, students tended to be passive in the programme as
they were unsure of the pronunciation of some words in the stories and lacked confidence in reading
the text aloud.  Being aware of the difficulties of the students, this group of secondary school teachers
would like to develop a phonics package which will equip students with the phonics skills necessary
to enable students to read and decode unfamiliar words by sounding them out.  In this way, students
will be more confident in reading words aloud at sentence level with the help of the phonics skills they
have acquired.
