Phonics is like a secret code that helps us read and understand words. Imagine you have a special map for reading that shows you how letters and sounds work together. Every letter makes a sound, and when we put letters together, they make words.

Grammar, on the other hand, is like the rules of how we put words together to make sentences that make sense. Just like building with blocks, we need to put words in the right order so that others can understand what we’re saying or writing. Grammar helps us know where to put verbs, nouns, adjectives, and all those other parts of speech.

So, think of phonics as the way we learn to read words, and grammar as the way we learn to build sentences that people can understand. Both of them are like important tools in our language toolbox that help us communicate and understand the world around us.
