摘要：This research study tends to focus upon the widespread significance of phonics instructions atElementary level of studies, in which learners are, suppose to learn the sounds of Englishorthography from the beginning of their academic career. The study is grounded on theoreticalframework of John Dewey theory of constructivism (1916). In the phonemic instruction,students explicitly learn the one to one relationship that exists between letters and theirsounds. This knowledge beneficially helps in improving the prerequisite skills of learner’sparticularly, the fluent reading abilities and accurate pronunciations capabilities. The presentstudy is co-relational in nature as it tends to compare two teaching methodologies, the phonicsinstruction and teaching through orthographic representation. The study was conducted on twogroups through purposive sampling technique, and the data was collected by applying readingof a certain paragraph from a similar library text on 20 students of grade two from twoschools. The study enabled the researcher to explain the problems of inaccuratepronunciations and defected reading skills occurs because of the traditional method ofteaching through English orthography, in which learners are not exposed to learn the soundsof English symbols in a words which directly characterized their defected skills. By thecomparative analysis of two teaching methodologies, the study found that phonics instructionshighly contributes in accurate, unambiguous and particularly fluent reading abilities andeffective perfect pronunciation skills.
