Phonics is a method of teaching reading and writing by developing learners' phonemic awareness.

A consonant is a speech sound that is not a vowel. Examples include 'b', 'c', 'd', etc.

A vowel is a speech sound that is produced without any significant constriction of airflow. The vowels are 'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'.

The purpose of phonics is to help children understand the relationship between letters and sounds.

A digraph is a combination of two letters that make one sound, such as 'sh' in 'ship'.
