The phonics approach is based on the idea that phonemes (the smallest units of sound) combine to form words. This approach teaches children to associate letters or groups of letters with specific phonemes, helping them sound out words and learn to spell. In contrast, the whole language approach emphasizes reading for meaning rather than focusing on phonics and decoding skills. The basal reader approach and authentic literature approach refer to different types of reading materials and do not necessarily emphasize phonics instruction.
