Fun Materials, Books & Games For Phonics!

[buds]

Hehee... apple79... :lol:


I bought many stuff in advance
when my girls were little. Esp
during sales. Not just teaching
materials, books and toys but
also clothes. Definitely came in
handy when i had to be a SAHM.

I've realized what a massive
collection of stuff i had for them!

Hi buds

it's me again I have problems getting son to remember the silent 'e' and the long vowels...do you have any ideas on how to reinforce this...any games? I have to constantly remind him...'there's a silent 'e' at the end and blah blah for every silent 'e' word... So not sure if he remembers it or worse don't understand what I have taught him at all.

Thanks

[buds]

Wuaah... :idea: How come you go so far there oredi?

Long vowels and split vowels are usually taught last,
so as not to confuse the child with letter sounds and
letter names. How old is your child again?

[sphinx]

Ehmmm!!! Hehe maybe this kanchiong mummy go too fast … I think…must press the ‘slow down’ button… I was going through with him as he reads to me d Peter and Jane books… There were quite a number of silent ‘e’ and ‘long’ vowels… So I thought I could just go ahead and teach him the mechanics of it…do I just teach those words as sight words first and proceed with the mechanics later on when he is more mature and ready ?

Which book are you at now?

Yes, yes.. don't confuse sight reading
with Phonics for now especially if your
son has not reached that advanced part
of the Phonics syllabus yet. Does he attend
a Phonics programme?

You may resume the P & J books as sight
reading, the way it was intended to. Though
children with Phonics background can read that
more efficiently, those readers are meant more as
graded sight readers more than anything else. Then
again, children with Phonics knowledge can read beyond
P & J books actually. Heyya sphinx, you didn't say how old
your child was again? I always ask for age cos i believe in age
appropriate introduction and systematic/gradual progression esp
for reading, Phonics, Math... This way we will understand our child's
pace better and introduce new things when he/she shows capability
of doing one level or few levels up. Lemme noe yeah...
