Morphology

phonic = phonics (transparent) = phon + ic

Closely associated with the noun 'phonics' (the reading method); the adjective 'phonic' in this pedagogical sense is readily derived from that base for learners.

Etymology

Phonic comes from the root phon- meaning 'sound' or 'voice', as in phone or megaphone. So in teaching, phonic means using the sounds of speech to help children learn to read by matching letters to sounds.
