A phonics class is an interactive and engaging learning environment where students develop the skills to read by mastering the relationship between sounds and letters. By studying words associated with those with special needs, one can improve their understanding of intellectual disabilities while also enhancing their pronunciation and reading comprehension skills.

In this class, we focus on reading with an emphasis on phonetics and pronunciation. Specifically, we examine passages about ASD: its symptoms, treatments, and methods for educating others about the topic. The teachers of the adult class ensure that everyone is on the same page and correct any mistakes made. It’s also important to challenge students in each class by allowing them to try certain words or paragraphs and emphasizing certain phonetic patterns found in the words. Overall, it is a very rewarding process, and students learn to recognize more difficult word structures while also getting to know each other better over time!
