What is Phonics
Wikipedia [1] introduces this topic very well, so there is no need to reiterate the information here.
Need for Phonics Activities on the OLPC
Phonics activities contribute to English-language literacy teaching and to the teaching of English as a second language. Someone knowledgeable should comment on the utility of such activities in literacy teaching for non-English languages

Ideas for New Activities
Many of the activities suggested for teachers at Free-Reading.net (see External Resources, below) are suitable for creating educational activities for the OLPC.
External Resources
"The Sounds of English" is a website that offers rich tools to construct word lists for phonics teaching. [[2]]
"Free-Reading.net" is a website offering many resources for teaching early readers.[[3]] It has a complete curriculum "Intervention A" that has been accepted by the Florida public schools.
