Abstract: Reading English for beginners is a complex task that requires employing effective strategies to make it easier and exciting for the students. One of the strategies is the use of a systematic approach of sound-letter correspondences or phonics system. Several researches have confirmed the efficacy of the use of phonics systems as compared to other teaching methods in reading such as the whole language method for early learners or those who have English as second language. Even the US Department of Education regarded phonics as an essential part of reading process among beginners. At present, it is widely used in different reading programs targeting beginners. This paper will discuss the importance of phonics in English language particularly in reading lessons as well the vocal tract configuration of using phonics. Using different literature and previous empirical studies about the effect of phonics on reading to determine and confirm the importance of phonics system in ready, this paper will help in validating the significant contribution of phonics system in helping students learn how to read and recognize texts.
Keywords: phonics system, teaching methods, English Language.
