phonically
Through spoken sounds
Phonically means in a way that relates to speech sounds or the sounds of a language.
It most often appears in discussions of reading instruction, where phonically based methods teach children to connect letters with their corresponding sounds.
The curriculum teaches spelling phonically rather than through memorization.
The word derives from the same root as phone and phonics, all relating to sound and voice.
