for your reference.上海現在很多小學一年級已學国際音標. 所以我覺得 phonics 最少要識.....
Knowing IPA is good, but it doesn't help one read or pronounce the words without referring to the phonetic symbols.
Similar to most of you here, I didn't have phonics or IPA classes at school. I bet we learned the language by imitation and repetition so that we would try to pronounce a word not known before by guessing (now IPA or speaking-dictionary would help correct the pronunciation). Phonics classes are popular in the last decade or so b'cos it provides a "systematic" approach for non-native learners to pick up the language in a rather short period of time.
my little boy (almost age 4) started his jolly phonics class some months ago. i can't say for sure whether the phonics class boosts his english proficiency.
but one thing i think is more important: if a parent does some readings with the kids almost everyday, this would definitely improve the language ability of his/her kids.
as in my case, i use to read with my boy. so before he joined the phonics class, he's already been able to read some simple readers himself. indeed, he loves to read those stories to me.
Yes, reading is extremely important in improving English proficiency. Phonics can help, providing a good reading habit has been developed first.

Keep up the good habit (and actually it is a time of intimacy with your son too). In our case, our son still insists on reading together everday before he goes to bed. But I wonder how long this would last for he's been reading by himself since he was small.

, 所以我覺得絕對有須要比佢地出面學. 不過我覺得佢地教得幾慢, 上左3個月而家教緊letter "R", 每堂教一至兩個letter sound. 我暫時未見到什麼成效, 可能要教到雙音先見到效果. 幸好我兩個女本身記性幾好, 佢地串字方面問題不大.
