Research demonstrates advantages of phonics-based learning
===Spelling "tricky" words===
===Spelling "tricky" words===
Some words in the English language use an irregular spelling which defies the blending process, such as ''said'' and ''one''. Children are taught to recognise and remember these so-called "tricky" words.

==Benefits of Phonics-Based Education==
Research has shown that students who receive phonics-based education are at a substantial advantage over those who do not. For example:
*Explicit phonics-based education has been shown to be significantly more effective that non-phonics-based education with children of different age, ability level, and socio-economic background.
*Kindergartners who receive explicit phonics-based education demonstrate increased ability to read and spell words over those who do not receive such education.
*First graders who receive systematic phonics education display superior decoding, comprehension, and spelling skills.
*Older children who receive systematic phonics education also display gains in decoding, spelling, and oral reading.
*Systematic synthetic phonics instruction has also been shown to have a significant positive effect on disabled learners' reading skills.
