Enhancing Orthographic and Phonological Awareness in Primary Education through Phonetics Instruction

Abstract

This study explores the integration of phonetic instruction into primary education to enhance students'
orthographic and phonological awareness. By focusing on spelling, pronunciation, and recognition of soundletter relationships, the study aims to identify effective teaching strategies that facilitate early literacy
development. Findings reveal that phonetics-based approaches significantly improve students' ability to decode
words and grasp complex linguistic structures, underscoring their importance in foundational education.
