“Encoding is not simply a step to writing; it is a vital but underappreciated route to reading. It requires a deeper and more consistent practice of identifying the individual speech sounds in words and linking those sounds to letters. It engages children from the beginning with meaningful words, not isolated skills.
The segmentation and construction of spoken words build essential neural networks and provide a meaningful route to phoneme awareness and phonics, as children learn to master the ingenious code of letters that makes spoken words visible.” ( Herron & Gillis, 2020).
