Many primary school students have difficulties in reading because they are unable to recognise the sounds of the letters of the alphabet in the words they read. Phonics will help children to recognise and associate sounds of the letters of the alphabet in the word they read. This will help them to improve in their reading skills and efficiency. In other words, it will be difficult for a child to improve in his reading skills if the teaching of phonics is removed from their curriculum.

Phonics also help raising a child's fluency in reading. Fluency in this context is not limited to reading fast, it also means reading text accurately. When a child is taught phonics properly, the child will find reading easy. The child will not only read accurately but also quickly. Read quickly and correctly is another benefits of phonics.

Phonics is also necessary for the improvement of the children's reading comprehension skills. It is impossible for somebody to understand a word that is not properly pronounced. When a child learns how to pronounce a word properly, he will be able to comprehend what he reads. Reading comprehension is another benefit that can be derived from phonics. Phonics will also help a child in acquiring more vocabulary on daily basis. When a child can pronounce a word correctly, he will be able to understand the word better.
