There are different levels of phonics. The most basic level is starting from 2 and a half years of learning to recognize letters and the sounds that those letters make. Later, students learn about multiple sounds, blended sounds, and putting those sounds together into words.

Its should be at age 2 itself when child understand the action of their parents what they are saying like...bring gg glass..bring BBB ball...like this they will understand letter sounds

Children are ready to start phonics programmes when they have learned to identify all the letters of the alphabet – which is usually somewhere between three and four years of age.
