The visual drill helps learners connect print to speech by saying the sound each letter or letters represent. This primes the learner for reading (decoding).
Visual drills are a foundational component of phonics instruction that strengthen the connection between written symbols (graphemes) and their corresponding sounds (phonemes). This activity develops automatic letter-sound recognition, which is crucial for fluent reading.
Regular practice with visual drills helps students:
Display letter cards, a whiteboard, or printed letters and have the learner point to each letter/letter combination while saying its sound.
