Learning phonics can be enjoyable or it can be tedious. This paper presents several teaching approaches that can guide pupils to like phonics instruction and to become better readers. Guidelines to remember in teaching phonics are to: (1) make it a relaxed and informal learning activity; (2) decrease competition among learners while developing each pupil's self-concept; (3) make phonics an inherent part of reading and literature lessons; and (4) emphasize constructivism as a psychology of learning.
