"Phonemic awareness is a key element in learning word recognition through phonics and overall reading." Phonics is one of the foundational pieces of knowledge that all students need to have to be successful in the school career. If they don't learn this basic aspect of education then for them, learning how to read will be extremely difficult which would most likely lead to them not liking reading.
Including phonics into the classroom should be at the top of a teacher's list of priorities. It should be incorporated in a way that is enjoyable for students. This is essential because if they are enjoying it they will be more likely to take in what is being taught. There are many different ways for this to be done. The article covered several different games and activities that could easily be used in the classroom. Two of my favorites were sound matching, where the students match sounds with a letter, and sound substitution, where the students take off or add certain sound to words to make new words. Any of the activities that were listed would be great ways to teach phonics in the classroom in a way that the students will enjoy and benefit from.
