Phonics mistakes are common mistakes made in connection with teaching a child to read, even when the method is purportedly the preferred approach of phonics.
These mistakes include:
- failing to repetitive redo pages in a good phonics book until the student has mastered it
- failing to practice, practice, practice with multi-syllable words as a youngster might practice a skill in sports
- mixing too many sight words with phonetic ones such that student is not learning to read phonetically; sight words should at most be rare exceptions
- allowing the student to rely on word recognition rather than sounding out a word syllable-by-syllable
- allowing the student to develop inferior reading habits that make it more difficult for him to learn by phonics
- starting phonics too late, such as after the child is 6 or 7 years old; the later the start, the more difficult the instruction will be
- using inferior books, such as ones having small print, bad examples, unattractive pictures, and undesired passages
