Helpful Pointers to Teach the Sounds of Letters
- You have to teach children how to sound out letters to read (not ABC's)
- When you're working with your child, focus on making it educational (not purely entertaining)
- When teaching a letter, say it once (or else your child might think that it's pronounced twice)
- Teach your kids the sounds letters make, not the ABC's
- Make sure to practice at least 4 times a week
- If your child is having trouble with a harder sound, teach an easier one first
