Teaching Methods:
As a phonic expert, my lessons are highly interactive and designed to engage students through multiple sensory channels. I introduce each phonic sound with a creative and memorable story that captures students' attention. This storytelling approach connects the sound to a context, making it easier for students to understand and recall. To reinforce the learning, i incorporate actions associated with each sound, adding a kinesthetic element to the lesson. Flashcards are used as visual aids, ensuring students can recognize the letter and associate it with the correct sound.

Content:
Lessons are carefully structured and follow a logical progression. The initial lessons focus on introducing individual phonic sounds through stories, actions, and poems. The poems are lively and engaging, helping students internalize the sound in a fun and rhythmic way. By the 4th lesson, I transition to word-building activities, teaching students how to blend sounds to form words. This step-by-step method ensures a strong foundation before moving to more complex phonics skills.

Classroom Dynamics:
Classroom environment is interactive and student-centered. I actively engage students by encouraging participation in storytelling, performing actions, and reciting poems. The dynamic nature of me lessons keeps students attentive and motivated to learn. I foster a supportive and energetic atmosphere, making it comfortable for students to practice their phonics skills without fear of mistakes.
