Singapore Phonics is a story-based approach widely used in preschools across Singapore for developing reading and foundational vocabulary words. Mastering Phonics is a prerequisite to starting the main primary school English program.
In Singapore, phonics instruction is integrated with immersive story-reading experiences. Students explore age-appropriate narratives and participate in vocabulary-building exercises, enhancing their English communication skills and comprehension abilities.
Singapore Phonics adopts a whole-language, balanced approach by integrating three main phonics methodologies: synthetic phonics, analytic phonics, and embedded phonics. This comprehensive approach ensures that students develop various skills necessary for effective reading, writing, spelling, pronunciation, and comprehension.
Singapore Phonics lessons facilitate Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which teaches children to recognize and understand their emotions, feel empathy, make decisions, and build and maintain relationships.
