Analytical phonics-an approach associated with the teaching of reading in which the phonemes associated with particular graphemes are not pronounced in isolation. Children identify (analyse) the common phoneme in a set of words in which each word contains the phoneme under study.
In the first level of instruction, the teacher explains the. phonemic awareness or phonics element. Then the teacher engages the students in. reproducing the sound (or reading the rhyming pictures, and so on). This instructional. process takes place in a whole-group setting.
